Thousands of people visit the Ocean City Boardwalk last Saturday during Memorial Day weekend. (Below) The inlet jetty was also busy with activity as guests cast lines hoping to reel in a big fish or two. Many resort establishments saw record-setting business over the holiday weekend.

OC’s season starts strong After long wet spell, resort businesses see super weekend crowds

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 3, 2016) Warm temperatures brought hundreds of thousands of visitors to Ocean City restaurants, attractions, stores and hotels over the Memorial Day weekend, with many resort businesses having record-setting days and sold-out nights.

“It was definitely the busiest day we ever had on Saturday,” said Carl Bozick, general manager at

Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill on 54th Street. “We opened the doors at 10 a.m., but the line started around 9:30 a.m. We were at capacity shortly after opening.”

Bozick said he has seen the restaurant become increasingly busy with each Memorial Day weekend over the past 10 years.

“Sunday we had a great lunch and happy hour crowd with the lines beginning around 9 a.m.,” Bozick said.

A couple blocks away on 49th Street, Seacrets was packed with people waiting to get in before doors opened at 9 a.m. It stretched See LOCAL Page 3

Incident, arrest numbers down from last year’s totals

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 3, 2016) Despite the glaring exception of a deadly street brawl, crime statistics compiled by the Ocean City Police Department indicated that this Memorial Day weekend was slightly more subdued, with the lowest number of total arrests in the last five years.

On May 29 at approximately 2:30 a.m. OCPD and EMS went to of 136th Street and Coastal Highway for a reported assault following an apparent altercation between two groups of men.

“The lines started at 7:30 a.m. and we had to close numerous times throughout the weekend and stayed shut down for a while,” said Seacrets General Manager Scott Studds. “Everything went well. I think we saw the product of people being cooped up in May. It was great.”

Farther south in Ocean City, Brass Balls located between 11th and 12th Streets on the Boardwalk “had a good weekend and the people were great,” according to owner Debbie Maxfield.

“This weekend was great,” said Mike Lado, the creative director of OC Screams on Worcester Street. “Saturday and Sunday rocked and beat our expectations for opening weekend. We are very excited.”

Phillips Seafood House on 141st Street “had a great Memorial Day” and business was up from last year, said General Manager Craig Roberts.

The city estimates about 285,000 people came to Ocean City for Memorial Day weekend, Jessica Waters, Town of Ocean City Communications Manager, said.

“We had beautiful weather on Saturday, which made for a perfect beach day,” she said. “Sunday was also a relatively nice day, which led to a crowded Boardwalk and beach. Memorial Day weekend is always the true kickoff to the summer season and I think many businesses would agree that it was a fantastic start. We hope that this weekend is only the beginning of a very sunny and successful summer season.”

Throughout the weekend, hotel and motel rooms were available on Friday and Sunday, although Saturday saw a handful of vacancies, said Susan Jones of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association.

There are 109 hotels, motels and a pair of condominium lodging properties with around 9,500 rooms in Ocean City and about 100 restaurant members, she said.

“I’d say it was super strong for restaurants with outdoor seating,” Jones said.

“Breakfast places did extremely well on Monday with all the rain as folks sleep See MURKY Page 5

Visitors lined up bright and early to get into Seacrets on 49th Street last Saturday morning, as this photo shows, with reports of people lining up as early as 7:30 a.m. for a 9:00 a.m. opening. Employees said the club reached capacity early, and stayed full all day long.

Scant clues in holiday homicide Continued from Page 1 Police found Lutherville resident Ryan Shupert, 31, suffering severe injuries and had taken him to Penisula Regional Medical Center, where he was admitted with life-threatening injuries. On Tuesday, Shupert succumbed to injuries sustained during the altercation and died.

Police believe Shupert was accompanied by two friends who got into a shouting match with four people. Police have descriptions of two of the men and continue to look for them.

The first is described as a white male, with darker complexion, in his 20s, who is about 6 feet tall and weighs roughly 200 pounds. Police say the suspect has dark, curly hair and was wearing a red shirt and glasses.

The second suspect is a white male, also in his 20s, with a lighter complexion. Police say this subject has short reddish brown hair and is extensively tattooed on his arms and neck. Police are also working to locate the other two men, both of whom are described as white males in their 20s.

“We are confident that someone has

valuable information about this incident and knows the suspects that were involved,” Chief Ross Buzzuro said.

“We urge anyone that may have information to contact us, particularly those that may have been on a municipal bus between the hours of 1:30 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. in the areas of 70th to 130th Streets on Sunday, May 29.”

Citizens who believe they may have information are asked to contact 410723-6602 or visit oceancitymd.gov/ police to submit a tip. Citizens may remain anonymous.

Overall, the police department reported 78 total arrests last weekend, down from 119 in 2015. In the three preceding years, the total arrest numbers, starting with 2014, were 108, 92 and 136.

DUI arrests also took a noticeable fall. While there were 22 DUI’s recorded over the 2015 Memorial Day weekend, only eight were issued by police this year. During the prior three years, starting in 2014, the OCPD cited 10, 16 and 12 individuals for driving while impaired.

Arrests for weapons possession also

Trolley starts service this season (June 3, 2016) Shore Transit in cooperation with a group of sponsors led by the Casino at Ocean Downs has planned a new trolley route to help visitors and residents in the West Ocean City, Ocean Pines, Berlin area travel this summer.

Because of the support of the Casino at Ocean Downs, Ocean Pines Association, Worcester County Tourism Office and the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce this service began Memorial Day weekend and will operate until Labor Day. The trolley is operating 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and runs the West Ocean City Park and Ride with stops at the

Casino at Ocean Downs, White Marlin Mall, Ocean Pines Swimming Pool and community center, and the Berlin Wal-Mart.

This special route will augment the existing Shore Transit routes connecting West Ocean City and the Ocean City Transit system with routes to Salisbury, Berlin, Snow Hill, Princess Anne and Pocomoke.

The funding provided by local businesses and governments will allow the fare on this route to be $1.

For more information on these routes, contact Shore Transit Dispatch at 443-260-2300 or www.shoretransit.org.

dropped dramatically as compared to prior Memorial Day weekends. This year, the OCPD reported one weapons arrest, which is significantly lower than the 10 such cases over the holiday in 2015, which represented the highest total over the last five years.

Drug arrests increased slightly to 10 last weekend as compared to seven during the 2015 Memorial Day weekend. Both of these numbers pale in comparison to the three previous years, when starting with 2014 drug arrests totaled 23, 25 and 61 during each respective year. This is most likely an outcome of the amended legal status of cannabis.

Although OCPD issued fewer citations in most categories, this doesn’t represent a decline in tourism, at least not based on Demoflush statistics.

They show an uptick in visitorship of approximately 5 percent.

She said advanced reservations are looking decent for the season and they “are cautiously optimistic that we’ll have a great season.”

“The Town of Ocean City is thrilled to start another summer season,” Waters said. “With a number of great events in June, from the Air Show to Arts Alive, along with a number of free family events each week, there will be numerous opportunities for families to come to Ocean City and enjoy a fantastic trip to the beach with their family and friends.”

Cool water temps keep swimmers on shore Beach patrol’s first summer shift largely uneventful, but some rescues on Sunday

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 3, 2016) Aided by chilly ocean temperatures, the Ocean City Beach Patrol began its first weekend of the 2016 season relatively uneventfully, despite the huge Memorial Day crowd that hit the beach last Saturday.

Beach Patrol Capt. Butch Arbin said most people found the mid-60degree water a little too brisk and limited their time in the surf over the holiday.

“We did have some rescues on Sunday,” he said.

Terming it the “just add water beach patrol,” Arbin said the OCBP is

a constant for many beachgoers.

“They go away, and they come back, and we’re still there,” he said.

“It’s like we never left.”

Lifeguards are on duty from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m., regardless of weather conditions, until the end of Sunfest weekend, which is Sept. 25 this year.

“Even in the worst weather people still go out there,” he said. “The lifeguards are given rain gear and umbrellas.”

Even when the thunder rolls, OCBP stays the course.

“Lightning gets them off the stands, but not off duty,” he said.

“They pull back, but are still responsible for seeing their beach and water.”

When thunderstorms do visit the shore, Arbin said lifeguards try to exercise reason with the beach-going

public.

“We tell people to leave the beach, then our guards leave the beach,” he said.

In these instances, lifeguards try to locate cover but must maintain a vantage point to be prepared for potential recues. From Arbin’s experience, lightning strikes are not a common occurrence but have a high probability of ending badly.

“In my career I have been involved with 10 lightning strikes and half were fatal,” he said.

Although the OCBP already trained a new batch of rookies before the season began, Arbin said it’s not too late to join the crew.

“Anyone still interested in beach patrol can take a test on Saturday at 10 a.m. at Dorchester and the Boardwalk,” he said.

Staffing the beach patrol is not without challenges, Arbin said. Since injuries can sideline a lifeguard, the OCBP needs a steady supply of backups.

“We’re really paying them for their abilities to run and swim,” he said.

New pay policy places cap on Ocean City’s top earners Raise structure spelled out, increases not applicable to employees at max salaries

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 3, 2016) Months after giving city employees a slight raise, the Ocean City Council on Tuesday passed a new policy that recalibrated the system.

The new plan covers pay raises, promotions, demotions and transfers as recommended by the city’s comprehensive pay and classification study that was completed last year.

“This is a tweak of the existing policy, and puts more specificity on how we handle these instances and how we will address people at the top of their pay range,” said city Human Resources Director Wayne Evans. “All these topics came up during discussions at various points of time, and I believe this policy addresses these issues.”

When the council adopted the new wage brackets as recommended by the pay study conducted by Management Advisory Group International (MAGI) last October, there was some dissension when a council majority voted to include a 2 percent raise across the board for city employees.

The pay study revealed a broad range of pay grades from minimum starting salary to maximum compensation. Ocean City had a 70 percent spread, with a handful of executive positions seeing a range of 83 percent above the minimum.

According to MAGI’s study, comparable municipalities have pay ranges of 50 to 60 percent within a given position.

Councilmembers agreed to narrow the ranges to 60 percent, which meant increasing minimum and starting pay, but disagreed on implementing a 2 percent raise. Since the raise applied to all employees, it pushed 25 employees beyond the maximum wage set for their positions.

Ultimately, the motion to adopt

the pay study with the raises passed with a 4-3 vote. The dissenting votes were all the newest additions to the City Council: Wayne Hartman, Matt James and Tony DeLuca.

Hartman, who was one of the raises’ strongest detractors last fall, voiced some concerns.

“When we discussed that when the cost of living increased, we talked about evaluations and how some people were compensated beyond the pay range and the review of the audited position’s salary. That the COLA wouldn’t apply to people already above their range,” he told Evans.

“Yes, and that’s addressed [in the policy],” Evans said. “Once an employee reaches the maximum of their assigned range, their salary is frozen and will not be eligible for additional compensation unless the range moves [for the maximum value of the position].”

But Hartman was mainly focused on people who are already paid beyond the pay range. In the past, the city had a scenario where people were paid beyond their range and had an additional cost-of-living increase placed on top of that.

Evans, however, was confident that no such increases would happen again. Cost-of-living adjustments need to be recommended by City Manager Doug Miller and approved by the council. These adjustments would also need to be applied for the entire pay range rather than certain employees.

“This policy would prohibit that,” Evans said.

The pay plan policy also spells out how pay raises that come with promotions should be handled. If an employee is promoted or reclassified to a higher pay grade, that person would be eligible for a 5 percent salary increase of one pay grade. The following increases would be 2.5 percent for each additional pay increase, and would cap at 10 percent.

In the case of a demotion, city staff members receive a 5 percent reducSee INCOME Page 8

The hire rate for new employees with no relevant experience is the minimum salary range of the job assigned. Typical hiring range is considered the span in salary between the minimum and the midpoint of the range of positions. Hiring above the midpoint pay range needs the city manager’s approval.

The policy also states that the city will periodically assess market conditions to maintain competitive salary ranges.

Hoverboards return to Boardwalk Mayor suggests passing emergency ordinance to amend EMPAD definition

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 3, 2016) In the final moments of an otherwise light work session Tuesday, Ocean City Councilman Doug Cymek alerted the council to the first problem on the Boardwalk of this summer: hoverboards. The devices returned to the boards over the Memorial Day weekend in spite of a prohibition that was issued in January.

“This past weekend, it was brought to my attention by the police department that there was an onslaught of hoverboards and [similar] types of vehicles,” Cymek said. “If you remember, the Police Commission visited the issue last winter, and we brought it to

where the sidewalk will ramp down for handicap ramps,” Baker said. “We plan to have them done in the next month.”

Other proposals, such as converting Route 90 to a dual highway, have gone nowhere.

“I know the mayor and council had sent in a letter for the Route 90 dualization to be considered as a future project. Where it stands after that, I don’t know,” Drewer said.

He added that the SHA realizes it is an important issue, but that a much older project — a new Route 50 bridge — is already on the back burner. The state decided in 2013 that the replacement of the existing bridge would be done by erecting a 30-foot-tall drawbridge along a parallel course. Beyond that, nothing has happened with regard to what has been estimated to be a $300 million undertaking.

“In the interim, we’d want the Route 90 bridge addressed,” Meehan said.

“We should have a direct conversation about this, so that we can be assured that we’re going to have the proper entrance and exit to Ocean City and how we handle emergency preparedness.”

Picking up where the mayor left off, Councilman Dennis Dare pointed out that the bridge is crucial not only for hurricane evacuation, but for calls for police assistance and ambulances throughout Worcester County.

“It’s a disaster the magnitude of a hurricane, if that bridge is shut down during summer and it’s just a two-lane bridge. There’s not a whole a lot of options,” Dare said.

Other small projects include the reinstallation of north and south pedestrian crosswalk signals at 94th, 120th and 130th Streets. These signals have been approved, and the SHA is working on the design. Officials are expecting to proceed with the installation in November.

Drewer said the SHA stock limited fabric and poles for the Route 50 bridge fence, which took a hit this weekend from the weather. Officials need to calculate how much material is needed to fix the fence, and a contractor should finish it within the week.

In closing comments, Drewer also credited contractors George and Lynch with finishing repaving Coastal Highway north of 62nd Street before Memorial Day. The project began in March, but was hampered by the continuous rain and cold temperatures.

“It was an outstanding job, and they got it done in the timeframe of the contract with very little inconvenience to traffic,” he said. “The only thing left is to repaint the brick crosswalks in the north, and that will be done in a month or so.”

“You’re kind [that] you gave George and Lynch credit, but we want to thank you and the SHA for their involvement,” said Meehan to Drewer. “You finished ahead of schedule even with all the rain. I’m sure you were on the phone with them when it was sunny, telling them to get to work.”

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 3, 2016) The Mayor and City Council were updated on several local State Highway Administration projects — and one that’s not destined to be any time soon — during Tuesday’s work session.

Some projects, such as installing a median barricade and better lighting along Coastal Highway, remain on track, according to SHA District Engineer Donnie Drewer, while others are at the back of the line.

“We’re incorporating the comments received about the design, which include a letter from the mayor that asked us to look into different things,” Drewer said of the median safety plan.

Following a public meeting about the proposed sand-dune styled fence that would run on the median from the Route 90 bridge to Convention Center Drive, Mayor Rick Meehan wrote a letter asking that the emergency depressions be removed and covered by the fence. He also asked the SHA consider the fence slats orientation. Since the slats would be at an angle, there could be a pulsing effect from headlights.

Drewer said the depressions would be removed and that they are looking into the angled fence and how the paint finish could diminish the light effect.

“We’ll bolt fence posts to the foundation to allow for adjustments in the field. Fence panels will be labeled to ensure the right panels are assembled for the intended undulating effect. It’ll also allow for easier panel replacement in the future,” Drewer said.

The median project’s road and landscaping project is also progressing and will be ready for a final review in July.

Contract issues have delayed the LED light posts, but will soon be resolved, Drewer said.

Once the drafting is complete for the fence details, the SHA will forward a set for the resort to review. Following final review in July, the project will go to bid. The $5.2 million project will be completed by summer 2017.

Meehan advocated installing arrow signs along the fence, guiding pedestrians to use the crosswalks.

“Educating the public is difficult. Let them know it’s not another obstacle for them to leap over. It’s there for a reason - to get them to go to the designated crosswalks. So anything we can do to get the word out,” Meehan said.

The Baltimore Avenue “bumpouts,” which is where the end of the street’s sidewalk will be extended out into the parking lane to give pedestrians and drivers better visibility of each other, also has some minor headway.

Assistant District Engineer Dallas Baker said that the SHA installed some flexible posts to highlight the bumpouts’ geometric changes, but those were quickly removed by vehicles or pedestrians.

“They weren’t aesthetically pleasing, but we’ll paint the curbs yellow to show

Signs closing Tern Island to human traffic did little to stop people from encroaching on the protected lands this past weekend. Natural Resources Police issued warnings, not citations, to people found on Tern and Skimmer islands.

SEAFOOD SPECIALS $5 APPETIZERS

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (June 3, 2016) Both Skimmer and the newly renamed Tern Island got the attention of the Natural Resources Police during the Memorial Day weekend, as officers issued warnings to tourists and boaters who tried to make the wildlife sanctuaries their own.

The islands in the bay are closed to humans from May to September because they have been set aside as nesting sites for endangered and threatened shorebirds.

For example, Skimmer Island is aptly named because it’s the only site in Maryland where black skimmers and royal terns can breed. According to the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, 12 species of birds nest there.

Royal terns lay only one or two eggs per season, sometimes in a shallow hole, sometimes on the bare sand in secluded areas. Black skimmers do much the same, and provide shade, not warmth, to the eggs before they hatch.

The eggs are generally camouflaged to blend in with the sand, which makes it difficult for humans to avoid them, and even harder for pets, which have been brought to the islands from time to time.

The islands are posted with signs warning trespassers a first offense could cost up to $1,500 in fines, which is likely a deterrent to some and a challenge to others.

This past weekend, four people were removed from Skimmer Island according to Candy Thompson, Natural Resources Police spokeswoman.

“They left without incident when we asked,” she said.

Tern Island, colloquially known as Flagpole Island, is closed this year for the first time to human traffic. The island was created by the Army Corps of Engineers to help nesting shorebirds reclaim some habitat that had been diminished because of coastal area development. The island was not finished until last year, and as such, remained open to all traffic all year long.

Tourists and some residents protested last year after learning of the island’s purpose, and planted a flagpole with LED flashing lights.

Thompson in a previous interview said the flagpole had been removed and it was being stored by the NRP until the owner claims it.

A petition effort rallied and failed to sway officials into reclassifying the island for human use, and the island was closed to human traffic this summer.

However, Thompson said, the message didn’t reach everyone.

A group of 15-20 people from New Jersey and Pennsylvania was removed from the island this past weekend. Thompson said they claimed to have not seen the signs.

“They had a tent set up and a barbecue, but they eventually left when they were asked to,” she said.

On the whole, Thompson said, the marine police had a quieter weekend this year. They did make seven arrests of boaters who were operating under the influence of alcohol.

Altogether, the NRP issued nine alcohol violations, which could be anything to public intoxication to having alcohol on Assateague Island, she said. Officers also performed 185 free boating inspections.

liquor to Cecil County retailers, including liquor stores, bars and restaurants.

The 23-count indictment alleges that from at least June 2009 through June 2012, a number of New York liquor retailers worked with several retail liquor stores in Cecil County to order cases of wine and liquor.

People working at the Cecil County retailers then passed the orders to Republic though salesmen. The indictment alleges that Lockerman and the salesmen knew that the liquor was intended for retail sale in New York, and they transmitted those orders to Republic to be filled.

The indictment further alleged that Republic delivered the ordered liquor to the Cecil County retailers, where it was held for the New York retailers.

The New York retailers and their agents then picked up and took the liquor to New York, where it was sold to customers without the New York excise taxes being paid.

The indictment further contends that Republic filed false reports to the Maryland State Comptroller’s Office, indicating that all liquor sold to the Cecil County retailers was intended for resale in Maryland.

The indictment seeks forfeiture of all proceeds traceable to the scheme, including a money judgment of at least $9 million.

If convicted, the company and the individual defendants face a $250,000 fine, and the individual defendants face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, for wire fraud conspiracy and each of four counts of wire fraud. If convicted of the money laundering counts, the indictment seeks forfeiture from RNDC of the funds involved in those offenses. No initial appearance has been scheduled for the defendants.

An indictment is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by indictment is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at some later criminal proceedings.

United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended HSI Baltimore, TTB, and IRS-Criminal Investigation for their work in the investigation and thanked the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance Criminal Investigations Division for its assistance. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tamera L. Fine and Richard C. Kay, who are prosecuting the case.

Community sends healing vibes to students hit by van Meg McCready moved from Shock Trauma last Saturday, will still need recovery time

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 3, 2016) Stephen Decatur High School students Meg McCready and Carl Echols continue to recover from their injuries after being run over in the school parking lot last week.

Echols was released from the hospital last Tuesday while McCready was moved from Shock Trauma in Baltimore to the HealthSouth Chesapeake Rehabilitation Hospital in Salisbury on Saturday.

She has physical and occupational therapy for three hours each day with rest breaks and visitation time mixed in.

“They made a rough estimate of about three weeks total [length of therapy], but because of how well I am doing so far, it may even be sooner,” McCready said. “The daily routine here is well scheduled, everything here is perfect and they are all so nice. This place is truly amazing.”

On Monday afternoon, Erin Herman, the lead vocalist in the SonRise church praise band, posted a video of

friends and family encouraging McCready on her progress through handwritten signs.

“Erin has always been a huge role model for me,” McCready said. “Not only is her voice amazing, but her faith and personality is as well. She is an inspiring woman.”

The video also introduced the hashtag, #MegIsOnTheMend, which was created by another SonRise church member and family friend, Jenna Legnaioli.

“The video was probably one of the most touching and uplifting things anyone has ever done for me,” McCready said. “It was crazy to feel that kind of love and support, I see it on social media all of the time and never think that someday, it may mean so much to me. Everyone involved is amazing.”

McCready credits her best friend Kyla Taylor and Echols for being her main support system and keeping her in high spirits throughout her recovery.

“There are certainly downsides, both physical and mental strains for us, but he and I are both doing so well,” McCready said. “Kyla and Carl came and comforted me while things were rough one night. I don’t know what I would do without them.”

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 3, 2016) Cruisin’ Ocean City has come and gone, but the Ocean City Police are ramping up their investigations to catch reckless drivers.

Two weeks after the classic car show ended, videos have been surfacing on social media sites from participants showing off their drag racing skills. Included in the thousands of views on YouTube, Facebook or Instagram, are local officers watching to identify the vehicle or the drivers.

“Our officers really got into surveying the Internet for Cruisin’ last year, but we’re always using different tools available at our disposal,” Police Public Affairs Specialist Lindsay Richard said. “It’s not a full-time job looking at videos, but we have intelligent officers that are cognizant of several social media sites.”

Although this method of catching reckless drivers in the resort at the time of the event is relatively new, the department has been successful in convicting individuals. One of the most notable cases was when the department charged a Pennsylvanian man with numerous traffic citations.

Last October, Greg S. Peters, 44, attempted to do a burnout in his blue Corvette on Seventh Street, but lost control and struck the railing in

front of Pickles Pub. Police saw a video of the incident online and identified the driver. Peters faced eight citations, including negligent driving and driving a vehicle on a sidewalk. The citations resulted in $770 in fines.

“It depends on a case-by-case basis on what we charge these drivers, but it could include malicious destruction of property and reckless driving,” Richard said.

While officers are vigilant of monitoring social media, residents have been tipping the police off to incidents they might have missed. Ocean City citizens often share videos or images on the OCPD Facebook page.

“Our citizens don’t want to see this kind of recklessness in their town and want to help out,” Richard said.

Using social media has helped the department in other ways. The department has posted images of suspects in robberies in hopes of making an identification. In the last few months, the department has started seeking citizen’s help in catching criminals by launching its Wanted Wednesday initiative, which posts the information and mug shot of a person.

“Social media can be used in any investigation; it’s not restricted to car events,” Richard said. “There’s more of a concern about car videos because there’s a proliferation of them and they’re shared.”

The investigation of reckless driving videos will continue well into the summer.

Indecent exposure Assef Assefi, 29, of Germantown, Maryland, was arrested on Sunday for indecent exposure after an Ocean City police officer allegedly watched him urinate next to a parked car.

According to the report, Assefi noticed the police officer looking at him and began to walk away as he continued to pee.

As he was walking away from police and still urinating, several pedestrians took notice and he began to run, the report stated.

Police reported after a brief chase, they were able to catch and arrest Assefi.

Police car theft attempt Jason Zick, 29, of Baltimore was arrested on Saturday for attempting to steal a police car, obstructing the passage of another person and malicious destruction of property.

When Ocean City police officers arrived on the scene, Zick was allegedly blocking a taxi from leaving and appeared to be intoxicated.

After the taxi driver left, Zick became uncooperative, got into a police

car and attempted to drive it away, although there were no keys in the ignition, the report stated.

Zick was arrested and taken to the public safety building where he allegedly broke a light fixture in his holding cell.

Hit and run The Ocean Pines Police Department arrested and charged Frederick Bohn Jr., 77, of Ocean Pines on May 21 with failure to control his vehicle speed to avoid a collision, negligent driving, failure to stop at an unattended property damage accident, failure to locate and notify the owner of an unattended property damage accident and failure of a vehicle driver involved in an accident to give insurance policy information after an accident at the North Gate Bridge in Ocean Pines.

Drugs Paul Donaldson, 29, of Ocean Pines was arrested and charged with possession of heroin and prescription drugs after a traffic stop on May 20.

Drugs Erik Winebrenner, 21, and Alexander Taran, 20, both of Reisterstown, Maryland, were arrested last Friday in Berlin for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

An officer with the Berlin Police Department was traveling on Ocean Gateway when he allegedly noticed a car driving behind him without its headlights on.

Erik Winebrenner Police reported the car switched lanes in front of another vehicle without signaling and sped past the police officer.

Upon approaching the vehicle, police stated it smelled of marijuana and loose pieces of the drug were in

plain view.

After a search of the vehicle, police reported finding a plastic baggie with more than 10 grams of marijuana, wax concentrated THC extract, several prescription pills, a smoking device, cell phones and money.

Taran was charged with two counts of possession with intent to distribute marijuana, two counts of possession not marijuana and one count of possession of marijuana. Winebrenner was charged with two Alexander Taran counts of possession with intent to distribute marijuana and one count of possession of marijuana.

Both were taken before the district court commissioner where Taran was held on a $10,000 bond

and Winebrenner was held on a $5,000 bond.

Knife possession An officer with the Berlin Police Department arrested and charged Devon Lockley, 20, of New Church, Virginia, for possession of a concealed dangerous weapon.

On Sunday, an officer pulled over Lockley for a speed violation on Route 113 when he smelled burnt marDevon Lockley ijuana coming from the vehicle, according to the report.

Police reported a search of the car uncovered a lighter with a switchblade knife attached and Lockley was arrested shortly after.

It was also determined Lockley had a bench warrant for failing to appear in court for a theft case.

Assault Ocean City police officers arrested Timothy Desilver, 20, of Ocean City for first and second degree assault, reckless endangerment and malicious destruction of property on May 26.

A day prior, police were called downtown and met with a victim who had a

swollen forehead, blood on his face and scratches on his abdomen and back.

Witnesses stated Desilver knocked on the victims’ door before poking him at least four times in the head with a metal cane. Police reported Desilver also damaged the vinyl side of a building.

In addition, Desilver came back a second time and allegedly hit the victim with a tire iron.

Stolen car Erika Velasquez, 27, of Mount Rainer, Maryland, and Alex Quinteros, 22, of Hyattsville, Maryland, were arrested on Saturday for stealing a car.

Police communications put out a broadcast to Ocean City officers that a stolen vehicle was being driven in the area.

After pulling the vehicle over and handcuffing Velasquez, officers allegedly woke up an intoxicated Quinteros.

Velasquez told police Quinteros picked her up in the Washington D.C. area and she decided to drive since she was sober, the report stated.

Police reported Quinteros stole the car after the owner left it running in her driveway to grab forgotten glasses from inside her house. In addition, her nine-year-old son was inside the car and able to exit shortly after it was taken.

As a result, grackles, crows and even gulls will harass, chase and divebomb owls until they leave the area.

Heroin addict talks recovery options Local man shares journey to sobriety; rehabilitation requires changing lifestyle

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 3, 2016) Two months into his latest attempt to kick a longtime heroin habit, Smokey Rhodes (not his real name) this week talked about his past and present attempts to find the road to sobriety.

“The only thing you’ve got to change is everything,” he said. “People you hang out with and places you go. For some people, it’s really hard to do, for other people it’s easier.”

Rhodes’ prior stabs at dropping the needle have involved opioid replacement therapy. The idea is to prescribe addicts less euphoric opioids like methadone or suboxone.

Rhodes has found that what sounds plausible in theory can be different in practice.

“Methadone builds you up and holds you over and it’s a easier letdown,” he said. “The problem is when you get in a methadone clinic you start at a low dose, but then they build you up because you get a tolerance to it.”

While addicts may start methadone treatment with the best of intentions, prolonged use may cause more harm than good.

“There’s way worse physical problems with it,” he said. “There’s also suppose to be a taper, you’re not suppose to be on it for years. I know people have been on it for five, six or seven years.”

Rhodes said methadone could penetrate bone marrow and gradually cause physical aliments.

“It has a half-life like no other drug, it deteriorates you,” he said.

“The overall effect is worse than heroin.”

From his experience, Rhodes said

suboxone also has major drawbacks.

While it may not invade bone marrow, Rhodes said it negatively affects brain functions.

“The withdrawal from it is worse,” he said. “The problem with suboxone is if you’re on it for more than a week to a month, you’ve got another habit.”

Neither of the opiate replacements was intended for prolonged use, and Rhodes said many users are simply exchanging paying for dope to get methadone or suboxone.

“The real reason suboxone got invented was a way to taper down off of opiates. You’re not suppose to take it for any more than a month or two,” he said.

“When the doctors give you a suboxone prescription, they’re supposed to tell you when you’re coming off.

There are too many doctors around here that are giving open-ended prescriptions.”

Like many addicts, Rhodes has traveled to Florida seeking treatment.

“The problem is South Florida, from Del Ray Beach up to West Palm, that whole area right there is called the recovery capital of America,” he said. “What happens when you put 10,000 to 20,000 addicts together? Maybe 10,000 of them make it, the other 10,000 are ———- up real bad.”

In retrospect, Rhodes feels his trip south was another form of escapism.

“I sort of just ran away from all my problems,” he said.

Rhodes said with statistics showing eight of 10 who enter therapy eventually relapse, landing in the sunshine state among large numbers of opiate-addicted brethren can be challenging.

“You hang around the wrong people and you already have a struggle going,” he said.

During his current stretch of sobriety, Rhodes has embraced therapy

in lieu of opiate replacements.

“I did it and I feel great again,” he said. “Just like the last time and the time before that. The difference is this time I actually immerse myself in the meetings.”

While addicts obviously know how to get high, Rhodes said the challenge is to learn how not to indulge.

“If you wanted to get high, you’d do anything to do that,” he said.

“What are you going to do to not get high?”

Although recovering addicts can lead each other back to trouble, Rhodes said it’s a double-edged sword.

“It’s the camaraderie, it’s finding people who don’t use who are still cool,” he said. “The problem I had before was you were never cool enough because you didn’t do what I did.”

The level of honesty on display in his group therapy meetings has helped inspire Rhodes to stay on the straight and narrow.

“It’s cool to just know you can be honest with other people about what you did,” he said. “It’s not about war stories, it’s more about just being able to start fresh. What I had to learn the hard way is you can’t run from your problems.”

Despite the recent uplifting therapy sessions, Rhodes said many users know how to manipulate the process.

“When you talk to a therapist and tell them your problems, 90 percent of the time you’re going to lie and try to tell them what they want to hear so you don’t sound like a fiend,” he said.

“Doctors aren’t mind readers and therapists are regular people too.”

In many cases after numerous meetings with a therapist, users end up on anti-depressants.

“Because everybody’s depressed when they don’t have drugs,” he said.

Often the process involves experiSee MEDICATION Page 22

New Jersey court clears Jamboree for sale Children’s theater auction postponed by bankruptcy, now scheduled for June 24

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (June 3, 2016) Though delayed by one of the owners’ bankruptcy filings, a New Jersey court has cleared the path for the former West Ocean City children’s theater to be sold at auction.

The new target date for the sale is June 24 on the property at 12600 Marjan Lane in West Ocean City at 11:30 a.m., according to auctioneer Bill Hudson’s website.

The court gave Hudson the authority to sell the property in a March ruling.

David Weatherholtz Jr. and his partners acquired the land and building for $473,333 in 2004, according to public records. US Bank holds the note on the property, and is seeking the sale because of nonpayment of the mortgage among other costs.

Partner Michael Weatherholtz, of Trenton, New Jersey filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy in April, according to court documents. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows a person with a regular income to determine a repayment plan to cover some or all of their debts in an installment plan over a

period of three to five years.

This declaration “ordinarily imposes a stay against any efforts by a creditor to commence or continue any action or proceeding against the debtor or the property of the debtor’s estate,” according to court documents.

However, a decision in late May vacated the stay and permitted the receiver, Millersville, Maryland firm Gray and Associates, to proceed with the sale. The property entered receivership in January.

Michael Weatherholtz is listed along with Elaine Weatherholtz, David Weatherholtz Jr. and OC Entertainment LLC as the owners of the property.

David Weatherholtz Jr., 56, of Berlin was arrested in Dec. 2014 in connection with Operation Worcester Safety Net, a yearlong investigation involving the Worcester Sheriff’s Office and Ocean City Police Department. He was indicted by a grand jury on Jan. 21, 2015 according to the State’s Attorney’s office.

Weatherholtz originally faced a number of charges, including false imprisonment, assault and sexual offenses.

On March 30, 2015 Weatherholtz was again indicted, this time by a federal grand jury, on allegations that stem from his December arrest.

Medication, therapy involved in treatment for drug habit Continued from Page 21 menting with different combinations of doctor-sanctioned medications.

“The problem with psychologists nowadays is they’re basically throwing medically tipped darts into a black room,” he said. “They’re just throwing medicine at you and if you feel better it worked.”

It’s no surprise to Rhodes that many users throw in the therapeutic towel and revisit addiction.

“I can understand why people give up because they’re on five different medicines and it doesn’t work right,” he said.

From his own research, Rhodes discovered a fresh alternative to traditional treatments when he chanced upon the book “Change Your Brain Change Your Life” a New York Times bestseller written by Dr. Daniel Amen. Since 1989, Amen Clinics have developed innovative diagnosis and treatment plans for a multitude of brain-behavior problems.

“They have a thing that’s called a spec scan,” he said, “It scans your brain and can actually detect areas of your brain that don’t have very good blood flow or is lacking blood flow.”

Rhodes said that Dr. Amen’s work could pinpoint brain issues to assist in determining a treatment path.

“It doesn’t always have to be medical, some it can be fixed by diet and exercise,” he said.

If medication is prescribed,

Rhodes said Amen’s approach could eliminate the trial-and-error approach.

“They’re actually going to be able to put you on the right medicine the first time,” he said.

Much to Rhodes’ frustration, the closest Amen Clinic is in Reston, Virginia and thus far medical insurers are reluctant to cover the cost.

“But the state of Maryland will cover for you to go to a year’s worth of visits to the psychiatrist, a year’s worth of visits to a therapist and pay for your medicine, which you may or may not need,” he said.

To his relief, however, his associates in the drug world have supported his attempts to change his life.

“Some of my best friends are dealers and I could ask them for anything in the world, knowing they have it, and they won’t give me ….,” he said.

“There are people that do offer me drugs, and when I tell them ‘no,’ they don’t ask me a second time because they know I’m doing better.”

The biggest requirement to successfully quitting opiates, Rhodes said, is you have to want it. He also said users could only quit for themselves.

“Nobody can wave a magic wand,” he said. “You can’t do it for your kids, you can’t do it for your mom or anybody but yourself. Just like those drugs came first, now you have to come first.”

Growers push for return of West OC Farmer’s Market Necessary permit still not obtained, but undaunted organizers still optimistic

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 3, 2016) After a hiatus, local growers are trying to re-launch the West Ocean City Farmers’ Market at the Tanger Outlets off Route 50.

Three years after the market’s first – and only – summer season, market manager and Berlin Organics owner Paul Carlotta has submitted a zoning application with Worcester County.

The permit is the only documentation needed to start another market, according to county Public Information Officer Kim Moses.

Although the application is still pending, organizers remain optimistic about the market’s future. The West Ocean City Farmers’ Market announced its comeback on its Facebook page months earlier, with a Memorial Day weekend target date.

Later posts scheduled opening day on June 16, with recurring markets on Thursdays from 3-6 p.m.

“Tanger Thursdays will feature local and regional growers in a ‘growers only’ market so you can meet and talk to your farmer,” reads a post on the West Ocean City Farmers’ Market

dated March 21. “Spread the word because we are excited!”

According to the application, the market will be held in the Tanger’s parking lot between the old Superfresh and Mione’s Pizza & Italian Restaurant, which is the same spot it was in during its only season. Carlotta started the market on June 21, 2013 to support organic vendors found in a 100-mile radius of Ocean City.

Eight vendors are tentatively scheduled for the 2016 season in all.

Some vendors will be coming across county and state lines. Here’s a look at what could be coming from the fields and onto your kitchen table this summer.

Terrapin Farms in Berlin Johnny Harrison and his wife, Ashley, are carrying on the family tradition of farming but with a little twist of their own. The couple is growing and selling hydroponic grown vegetables, particularly lettuce, to residents.

“Our lettuce is grown in complete water and we use the mineral nutrients in the water rather than the soil,” said Ashley Harrison. “We also operate off a recirculating system for runoff and we’re fully solar-powered.”

Three years later, market could return in June Continued from Page 23 lotta about the farmer’s market when it announced it was looking for vendors, thinking it would be a perfect way to introduce the business to new shoppers.

“When we heard that it was coming back after its break, we said ‘heck yeah, we’re down,’” she said. “We’re looking forward to meeting with more customers and getting good greens in their bellies.”

Layton’s Chance Vineyard and Winery in Vienna The Layton family has held 14 acres of land off Route 50 for decades, but only recently has the business ventured to selling wine. In 2007, the family planted its first grapes on the land in an effort to diversify the farm. By 2010 the winery had opened its doors and started selling bottles as a family-operated busi-

ness.

“We carry a variety of wine from dry and sweet,” said owner Jennifer Layton. “One of our popular ones we’ll be bringing to the farmers’ market is a sweet concord wine, Joe’s Cool Red.” At the West Ocean City Farmers’ Market, Layton’s Chance will be offering farm red wine, which is a blend of Chambourcin and Norton grapes, a dry white that uses Vidal Blanc grapes, at prices ranging from $13 to $17 a bottle. Shoppers can also sample a little of the wine at the market.

The Layton family already participates in the Easton Farmers’ Market, but hope that expanding into the resort will bring a different kind of customer to their farm.

“It’s often difficult to pull people off Route 50. We normally get people as they’re going back up to Pennsyl-

vania. Hopefully, we’ll have a little more recognition in Worcester through this market and possibly get more tourists looking for us,” she said.

Happy Hens Barnyard in Princess Anne Happy Hens is another family enterprise that is excited to set up shop in West Ocean City – and to educate some of their customers.

“We’ll be selling eggs, but we’ll also have some pictures of the farm and have information about how we raise the chickens,” said Happy Hens owner Thomas Hornsby. “We’re freerange, and not many people understand what that means. Our birds are pasture-fed and cage-free.”

Happy Hens offers a plethora of eggs from several birds, including chickens, ducks and araucanas, which is a Chilean breed of chicken.

Beyond poultry products, the family will also sell some meat and honey in West Ocean City.

“We wanted to do something closer than home and meet that local demand,” he said. “Hopefully we’ll expand our local customer base and maybe even pick up on some restaurant vendors.”

Baked Dessert Café in Berlin To hit that sweet spot, look no further than Baked’s desserts. Out of their store on Bay Street, the all-natural café sells pies, cakes, eclairs, croissants and cookies to locals. But with the West Ocean City Farmers’ Market, the business could tap into that tourist market.

“We use the finest ingredients to handcraft our sweet and savory offerings and never use any artificial colors, flavors, preservative or trans fats,” said owner Robin E. Tomaselli.

“Customers should expect to enjoy fresh, handcrafted goods, homemade granola, crackers and Rise Up Coffee.”

Baked has participated in the Ocean Pines Farmers’ Market, held in the White Horse Park on Saturday mornings, for the past two years. But for a local business, the West Ocean City Farmers’ Market could simplify shopping for resort residents.

“We’re excited to meet new customers along with providing a convenient location. We … hope to encourage those customers to visit our shop,” she said.

Program Open Space funds for slew of county projects Ocean Bowl Skate Park, Downtown Rec Complex both slated for expansion

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 3, 2016) Numerous recreation projects were approved at the Worcester County Commissioners meeting on May 17 as part of Program Open Space’s annual program for acquisition and development.

Administered by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Program Open Space awards grants to counties to acquire land for development of outdoor recreational projects or improvements to existing sites. Open Space money is also provided for major rehabilitation projects on county property that will provide open space uses for the public.

Ocean City has two projects in the works. The Ocean Bowl Skate Park on St. Louis Avenue and Third Street will be renovated and expanded. The project is budgeted to cost $825,000, with $742,500 from Open Space.

The Downtown Recreation Complex, which also includes the skate park, will be redeveloped with new athletic fields, basketball courts, walkways, as well as a pedestrian

connection to the adjacent bayside Chicago Avenue boardwalk. The revamped complex is budgeted to cost $3.5 million, with $3.1 in Open Space money.

Berlin has three projects in the works, including the new Berlin Falls Park, which it is creating on the site of the former Tyson chicken processing plant.

As part of the project, Berlin has requested state money to buy picnic tables, benches, bike racks, trashcans and other amenities. Open Space money would cover 90 percent of the $45,000 price tag.

The town will also spend $55,000 to redevelop John Howard Burbage Park into a “casual use” park. The funds will pay for detailed design work and cost estimates to move forward with the project.

Stephen Decatur Park will also receive some attention, as Berlin will spend $10,000, with 90 percent state funding, to expand the Tot-Lot area of the park. This project will increase square footage for expanded picnic facilities and improved stroller and wheelchair access.

The Worcester County Department of Recreation and Parks will receive $22,500 from Open Space for gymnasium floor repairs at the See OC Page 26

Berlin vandals facing probation violations Both Nicholas Bonser and Jordan Denton may be drug tested following graffiti spree

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (June 3, 2016) The Worcester County State’s Attorney’s office is calling both Jordan Denton, 18, of Ocean City and Nicholas Bonser, 18, of Ocean Pines, back to District Court to answer for possible parole violations stemming from a Jan. 25 vandalism spree that caused more than $11,000 in damages.

District Court Judge Gerald Purnell approved State’s Attorney Paul Haskell’s request to review the pair’s parole based on three suspected failures and one modification request.

Haskell filed a “show cause order” in late April, asking the judge to find

that the accused have failed to abide by the conditions of the conditions of their parole.

Bonser and Denton are accused in court documents of failure to complete their community service hours, failure to pay restitution and failure to obey laws, including use of controlled substances. The order also seeks to change the terms of the remainder of their parole, about one year, to include drug testing.

The case is scheduled to appear in District Court on June 10.

Bonser and Denton were convicted last June on 11 of the 40 counts they each faced individually as part of a plea bargain for stealing spray paint from the Berlin WalMart and then using it, along with an unnamed juvenile, to tag vehicles and buildings with movie quotes, offensive language and random doo-

dles.

As part of the deal, they each pleaded guilty to 11 charges, were placed on probation, were ordered to perform a total of 450 hours of community service within Berlin, ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $8,843.06 to the victims and write letters of apology to the town. In exchange, prosecutors did not pursue the remainder of the charges.

Initially, Bonser and Denton had 90 days to complete the terms of the deal, but their lawyers subsequently extended the deadline, which was approved by Judge Purnell last year.

The juvenile admitted to being “involved” in all 40 instances to authorities. Juveniles are given two op-

tions to plea during proceedings: involved or not involved.

The town calculated the damages to be in excess of $11,000.

According to a Berlin Police Department press release following the incident, the investigation revealed 36 separate victims, including the Town of Berlin, which had one vehicle, 10 electric meters and four trashcans damaged.

Three buildings and 33 additional cars were spray painted during the incident that spanned a dozen streets: Ann Court, Ann Drive, Branch Street, Buttercup Court, Harrison Ave, Henry’s Mill, Littleworth Court, North Main Street, Pitts Street, Powell Circle, West Street and William Street.

OC gets more than $3.8 million Continued from Page 25 44,000-square foot County Recreation Center in Snow Hill.

Again with 90 percent state funding, the county will spend $575,000 for lighting upgrades and other improvements at John Walter Smith Park In Snow Hill.

The Town of Snow Hill has two project requests related to Sturgis Park and Byrd Park.

The town will spend $66,800 to

revitalize Sturgis Park, including installing sidewalks and ramps for improved waterfront access, bathroom renovations and new pavilion lighting. An additional $7,100 will be budgeted for landscape improvements at Sturgis.

To combat increased vandalism at Bryd Park, the town will spend $25,000 on a security system to augment the one security camera previously installed.

ELIZABETH CHRISTINE “BETH” KELLER-CLOUD Berlin Elizabeth Christine “Beth” KellerCloud died on May 24, 2016 in her home after a valiant battle with lung cancer.

Beth passed peacefully in her sleep with her daughter, Tracy, by her side.

Beth was born on Jan. 3, 1952 to Col. Nicholas Keller, M.D., and Adeline Keller in Pottsville, Pennsylvania.

The family traveled extensively abroad during Dr. Keller’s military career until permanently moving to Takoma Park, Maryland.

Beth is survived by her beloved husband, James Cloud, of Berlin, her cherished daughter (and best friend), Tracy Cloud, of Berlin, and her honorary daughter, Irene Soares of Salisbury.

Beth is also survived by her son, Patrick Cloud (Kimmy Cloud), of West Virginia; her beloved grandchildren by Tracy, Rebecca Cloud (Brandon Burke), of Annapolis, Maryland, Matthew Cloud, Rachel Cloud (Tess KollerCloud), and Michael Butcher, all of Berlin.

She is also survived by grandson, Michael Cloud, and a granddaughter, Crystal Shaw (Ron), of Huntington, Arkansas by Patrick Cloud, and two great-grandchildren from Crystal.

Beth was predeceased by her beloved sister, Marian “Cookie” Keller-Iglehart; cherished niece, Adeline “Addie” Keller; and her brother, Lawrence (Larry) Keller.

In addition to her children and

grandchildren, Beth leaves her beloved siblings, Ann Keller Auth (Robert) of New Bern, North Carolina, Paul Keller (Deborah) of Burtonsville, Maryland, Nicholas Keller (Trish) of Acworth, Georgia, Susan Keller (Jennifer) of Lusby, Maryland and Daniel Keller (Ann) of Switzerland.

Beth also leaves behinds many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews. Beth will also be remembered by many cherished friends, locally and abroad.

Beth lived in many countries as a teenager while traveling when her father was stationed with the Army. The family visited France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and other places in Europe. The family also went on the SS United States luxury steam liner, which was the equivalent of the MS Queen Mary.

Jimmy Stewart was on that ship, as well as many of the Rockefellers. Beth used to laugh and tell the story of how her father was quite angry when he got the extensive bill for all the charges she and Ann racked up with room service while on that luxury ocean liner.

Beth’s love of cruising never stopped after being introduced to it. She went on many cruises in later years, including a 52-day cruise she took with Jim. When Beth found out she had cancer, she told her daughter, Tracy, she wanted to go on a cruise and so they did. Beth’s goal was to go on a cruise to Cuba, but she fell too ill to do so. Tracy will take some of Beth’s ashes to Cuba in her honor.

Beth and Jim also traveled often to many countries in their later years. After Jim was not able to travel any longer, Beth traveled alone, and her travels took her many places and well over 30 countries. Her favorite countries were China, Japan, India and Machu Picchu. Beth’s last trip was to Machu Picchu.

Beth loved to decorate her home with all of her beautiful souvenirs from the places she visited. Her home has statues of Buddha, very tall giraffes and many elephants. Beth also loved Mickey Mouse, and many of her collections of Mickey Mouse are beautifully placed

JUNE 3, 2016 around her home. Her souvenirs and treasures from her years of travel grace her home.

During the early years of their marriage, Beth and Jim worked at many jobs together in construction, including building their home in Berlin. They sketched the floor plans on a paper bag, and built every bit of it themselves.

Today that very big house is still the family home where Beth’s daughter and grandchildren live and friends always visit.

Beth also founded and developed her own company, “Cleaning Crew,” over 30 years ago in Ocean City. She provided maintenance and cleaning for many businesses and restaurants in Ocean City. Beth’s daughter, Tracy Cloud, moved back home three years ago to help Beth with Jim and eventually took over Beth’s company when Beth became sick. Tracy and Beth’s granddaughter, Rachel, continues to run the family company in Ocean City.

Over the years, Beth’s company provided jobs for students from all over the globe. The students would come and work for Beth in the summers in Ocean City. The students all called her “Mommybeth,” as did her own grandchildren.

The foreign students kept in touch with “Mommybeth” over the years as they all had developed a fond and close relationship with Beth. Beth was indeed a “Mommybeth” to all of them.

Beth had a bubbly, playful spirit from the time she was born and she stayed that way her whole life.

When asked just a few months ago if she had any regrets, Beth said. “I’ve had a beautiful and blessed life. I have no regrets.”

Beth wanted her obituary to include this message: “I loved each and every one of you more than you will ever know...thank you for being a part of my wonderful life.”

Beth has donated her body to science for the advancement of cancer research to honor her father, the late Dr. Nicholas Keller.

A party will be held in her honor at

The tapestry of her life was richly enrobed with influences from childhood, as she and her sisters, the “Holland girls,” spent half the year growing up on 10th Street and Baltimore Avenue during the burgeoning days of Ocean City and the other half in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Their Florida home lent the influence of their maternal grandmother, Agnes Laws Hastings, who ignited a love for fine art, culture and travel in Janet. She obtained her BA in English at the University of Maryland, studied preColumbian art and history at the American University of Mexico City, and went on to obtain her MA in European Continued on Page 30

She taught English at Stephen Decatur High School, was a social worker for Worcester County, and helped run the family businesses, including the Sandpiper Restaurant at 33rd Street and Philadelphia Avenue, the Miami Court Motel at 22nd Street and Philadelphia Avenue, and various Ocean City real estate ventures at her father Robe’s Sandpiper Restaurant Company.

Throughout her life, she sought out experiences that were greatly influenced by her love for adventure and learning.

As a child, she was known to hunt alligators in the Everglades with her childhood friend, Willy, and she avidly devoured any story involving shipwrecks, explorers and the sea.

For most of her life she traveled to places that offered a taste of the wild and unspoiled such as the tip of Patagonia and New Zealand, the Galapagos, Machu Picchu, the Amazon, Cuba, national parks and preserves, and multiple trips to countries in Europe and South and Central America. When she wasn’t physically traveling, she was an “armchair” traveler, avidly reading great fiction set in locations far and wide.

Her draw toward places that preserved the beauty of the natural world led her (and Chum) to spend winters in Sanibel, Florida, a place that very much spoke to her heart. For all of her zest for travel, she was also deeply devoted to the Eastern Shore and worked to preserve its human, animal and natural heritage.

She served on the boards of the Worcester County Historical Society and the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum, and was an active member of the Maryland Coastal Bays, Rackliffe House, Lower Shore Land Trust and Worcester County Humane Society.

She cherished being in the company of her friends, “fellow travelers,” who shared her interests, whether it be preservation work, love of animals, sea creatures and natural beauty, or talking about the sweep of life’s experiences in her beloved book club.

Friends and family gathered on Wednesday, June 1, 2016 for a memorial service led by the Reverend Michael Moyer, followed immediately by a celebration of Janet’s life, at the Cherrix residence in Berlin. Her ashes will be scattered on the Assateague Bay as well as placed with her grandmother, Agnes, at Sunset Memorial Park in a private ceremony at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to either of Janet’s favorite causes: the Lower Shore Land Trust for a donation benefitting efforts to preserve and restore habitat for the birds of Worcester County, especially the bobwhite quail, 9931 Old Ocean City Blvd, Berlin, Maryland 21811, or to the “Janet Cherrix Butterfly Garden,” Worcester County Library Foundation, 307 N.

Local arcade owners grateful for legislation Bill sponsored by Md. Sen. Mathias secures future for historic Boardwalk games

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 3, 2016) Ocean City’s Boardwalk arcades look to continue providing memories for families following the passage of state legislation to differentiate skill-based machines from slot machines.

Sponsored by State Sen. Jim Mathias, the measure alters the definition of slots and authorizes the State Lottery and Gaming Control Commission to issue amusement gaming licenses to family entertainment centers in Worcester County.

“This is a very important bill for the amusement arcade industry in Ocean City,” Mathias said. “It protects the Boardwalk and protects the history of the arcades.”

Following the legislation’s passage, Stephanie Meehan, who operates Funcade on the Boardwalk between Ninth and 10th streets expressed gratitude for Mathias’ initiative to safeguard the remaining arcades.

“At one point, there were maybe 12

Greenspan also expressed concern that casinos are courting a younger demographic by installing games of skill, which have a broader based appeal that traditional table games, and could ultimately threaten the bottom line for arcade operators.

Greenspan and Meehan agree that the Boardwalk arcades, or family entertainment centers, cater to a wider demographic than casinos.

“At one point on Saturday afternoon I knew all the kids by name,” Meehan said. “I’ll have a grandfather come in and say I played skee ball here as a kid, and now I’m bringing my grandson.”

Relating a similar sentiment, Greenspan recalled seeing a father and son as they reveled in activities inside Fun City.

“They’re been coming to our place for 30 years,” he said. “That’s a smile that’s worth a million bucks.”

Greenspan appreciates that the arcades have to be regulated, but is relieved that the difference between arcades and slot machines has been recognized “We hope we’re going to be in business for a lot longer,” he said.

First white, blue marlin of season caught, released

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 3, 2016) It was a big weekend for marlin fishing in Ocean City as the first white and blue of the season were caught and released.

Last Friday, May 27, Capt. Andy Urban headed offshore with Bryan Hurst and Chris Oliviero on his boat, In the Black.

Urban said they were rigged for tuna, with marlin teasers out, as they were just northeast of the Norfolk Canyon. Lines were in the water at 8:40 a.m. and the first bite of the morning – around 9:20 a.m. – was a white marlin.

“We just barely got everything out when it hit,” Urban said. A few minutes later, a mahi (dolphin) took the bait.

The trio knew it was a white marlin because “it hit and jumped straight out of the water,” he said.

Urban was at the back of the boat so he grabbed the reel. It took him about 20-25 minutes to get the fish to the boat. They snapped a few photos and released the marlin. He estimated it to weigh in the 80-pound range.

Urban then began texting friends to see if any other white marlin had been hooked before his that morning.

“It was pretty exciting,” he said.

“Then we had to decide if we were going to come in or keep fishing.”

They continued fishing and had a productive day. They caught seven yellowfin tuna and two mahi. Their last bite of the day was a mako shark, which Urban said “was almost as exciting” as getting the white.

“It hit like a marlin. It was certainly big,” he said. The mako weighed 73 pounds.

As the angler reeling in the first white marlin of the season, Urban will receive a $5,000 prize awarded by the Town of Ocean City. The prize money will be presented in the fall during the Ocean City Marlin Club’s annual awards banquet. The Ocean City Marlin Club also awards an additional $5,000 if the angler is a member of the organization, which Urban is.

“It was a pretty fun couple of days,” Urban said, as he received calls, texts and congratulations for landing the first white of the Ocean City fishing season. “It was a pretty cool Memorial Day weekend.”

The 51-year-old West Ocean City resident who works for Perdue, moved to the area about seven years ago from Colorado. He started offshore fishing soon after. Over the last several years, the “mostly weekend fisherman” has See FIRST Page 36

First blue and white marlin of fishing season recorded

PHOTO COURTESY LYNN RUNK

John “Bo” Appel works hard to reel in a blue marlin aboard Boss Hogg last Saturday. It took him an hour, but he eventually recorded the first blue marlin release of the Ocean City fishing season.

Annual Mako Mania tourney underway, runs through Sun.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 3, 2016) Crews will venture offshore this weekend in search of mako and thresher sharks as well as bluefish during the 20th annual Mako Mania Tournament, which starts today, Friday, and concludes Sunday.

“Fish are definitely in the area.

There were some nice makos and threshers caught this past weekend,” said Mako Mania co-director Earl Conley. “It’s only going to get better.

The water is warming up each day.”

The entry fee is $500 per boat for up to four anglers. Two additional anglers — to make a six-person team — may be added to a boat at $50 each.

There will be a one-day (different team) entry fee of $300 for charter boats.

Anglers will fish two of three days, Friday through Sunday, June 3-5.

“We’ll have our steady diehard fishermen in it. I think we’ll hit our usual amount – about 40 boats,” Conley said. “It’s been a long winter and rainy spring. I think people are itching to get out there.”

All fish must be weighed at Bahia Marina on 22nd Street, bayside.

Scales will open at 3:30 p.m. and close at 7:30 p.m. The public is invited to watch the weigh-ins, which typically draw a large crowd.

This tournament has added-entry categories for the heaviest thresher and mako sharks and bluefish. Prize money will be awarded for the three heaviest mako and thresher sharks, and top two bluefish.

There will also be a $1,000 bonus mako (heaviest winner takes all) cal-

Continued from Page 35 released about 10-15 white marlin each year.

“There’s not much offshore fishing in Colorado,” he joked. “I grew up salmon and halibut fishing in Seattle.”

The next day, a group of families and friends went out aboard Boss Hogg. Capt. Brian Porter said they were fishing for everything, but targeting tuna. In the Norfolk Canyon around 12:30 p.m. a blue marlin took the bait. It was Porter’s wife, Helena’s, turn to reel in a fish, but once they saw it was a blue marlin, he said she decided to let John “Bo” Appel have a go at it.

Appel, who dates the Porter’s daughter, Katie, who was also on the boat, looked forward to the challenge.

“We weren’t really expecting it.

Once we saw what it was I took hold of it,” Appel said.

Appel, who turns 30 years old on June 6, said they got on the radio to let other boats nearby know that they were fighting a blue marlin so they could clear away. One must not have heard the information, because Appel said a boat came speeding by and its wake sent water into the Boss Hogg.

“His wake flooded the boat. We were standing in 3 feet of water. The coolers were hitting us in the knees,” he said.

Appel fought the fish – estimated to weigh about 700 pounds – for an hour and it wasn’t an easy battle.

“We backed up about two and a half miles and it drug us. It got to about 10

feet from the boat a couple times and then it would take off again like 400500 yards,” he said. “Each time we were inches away from touching the leader [to record an official release].

The third time we got her in and grabbed the leader. I was happy because I was almost dead by that time and I didn’t know how much more I had in me.”

Appel said he has caught a number of tuna, mahi and white marlin, but this was his first blue marlin.

“To get a 700-pound one is really exciting,” he said. “It was a nice day to take the families out and to do this – they hear fishing stories, but now they all got a chance to see it. It’s about as intense as it gets.”

The Ocean City Marlin Club awards $2,500 to it member who catches and releases the first blue marlin of the season.

The group had a bountiful day. They kept 12 yellowfin tuna and released about a dozen more.

Joining Appel and the Porters on the boat was mates Rick Tshudy and Chris Irelan, Mike and Lynn Runk and Boss Hogg owner, Howard and Marge Berger.

Appel, who lives in Delta, Pennsylvania, grew up in Ocean City. He has been fishing with Porter for about five years. Porter has been the captain on a boat that has caught and released the first white marlin of the season two times. This was the second time he has been the captain when the first blue of the season has been hooked.

cutta. Entering this category will increase the amount of prize money paid out to the angler who lands the largest mako.

“One shark can be worth a lot of money,” Conley said.

The crew that releases the most sharks will receive the “W.W. Harman” award of $1,000 in honor of the late William W. Harman, who launched shark tournaments in the resort about three decades ago.

The deadline to sign up for the added entry-level calcuttas was

Thursday, but entry into the tournament is still open.

One hundred sixty-eight anglers and captains headed offshore on 37 boats last year during the 19th annual Mako Mania, presented by Bahia Marina Tournaments. The extended forecast prior to the 2015 tournament was unfavorable, which deterred some captains with smaller boats from participating. A total of $68,090 was paid out to tournament winners.

Godwin places fifth in state shot put event

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 3, 2016) Five Stephen Decatur outdoor track athletes faced tough competition during the 3A state championship meet, held May 27-28, at Morgan State University in Baltimore.

“States went pretty well. It was good competition, but that is to be expected,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler.

The top eight finishers in each event took home ribbons.

Senior shot-putter Dayona Godwin had the most success at states for the Seahawks. The Bayside Conference and

3A East Regional champion threw the shot put 34 feet .25 inches — a new personal record — to finish in fifth place.

Godwin said she had a good week of practices leading up to the competition and she felt prepared the day of the meet.

“I came in with a lot of confidence. I was quite impressed with myself,” Godwin said. “The competition was very tough, but I feel like I proved myself. I’m very happy with how I did.”

This was her first season competing in outdoor track and the shot put event.

“Coming into the season, I didn’t have high expectations so to make it to

states is a very big accomplishment,” she said.

Godwin, whose main sport is basketball, said she would announce which college she plans to play for in the next week or so.

Godwin has been a leader on the basketball court since her freshman year. She scored 302 points her freshman year, 589 as a sophomore and 504 as a junior. Godwin started the 2015-16 season with 1,395 career points.

She broke Elise Mercer’s (20012005) all-time Decatur girls’ basketball scoring record of 1,494 on Dec. 15,

2015. She scored 686 points this winter season and finished her four-year career with 2,081 points.

“After four years of high school sports, I can say it was all a blast! It was an honor to wear Decatur across my chest,” she wrote on Twitter.

Senior pole vaulter Brett Kim also earned a ribbon during the track state championship. He tied for eighth place with Westminster’s Michael Richardson. They both vaulted 11 feet.

Kim was sidelined at the beginning of the track season and only returned See YOUNG Page 38

Young athletes show promise Continued from Page 37 to pole vaulting about a month ago because he was recovering from a dislocated elbow suffered while wrestling for Decatur this past winter. To qualify for states and tie for eighth place is a big accomplishment, he said.

“I think I did all right. It wasn’t my best. I fell my last [attempt] at 11 [feet] 6 [inches],” Kim said. “There were a lot of good kids there. I finished right in the middle of everybody.”

Senior Evan Haas, who has been bothered by back pain this season, tied for 10th place with Mt. Hebron’s Matthew Wingate. They also both vaulted 11 feet, but placed 10th because of a miss on their first attempt at 11 feet.

Kim and Richardson made it over on their first attempt at 11 feet.

Senior Ryan Beach placed 12th in the high jump (5 feet 8 inches). Sopho-

more Malea Saunders also participated in the high jump. She finished tied for 13th with Jaedyn Ballengee of North Hagerstown. They both recorded jumps of 4 feet 8 inches.

Stigler thought the season went well overall.

“We had some good performances from our athletes, especially at some of the bigger meets,” he said. “At the same time, I think we saw great improvement throughout the season and I think that we have some athletes to look forward to coming back next year and doing good things.”

Some of the program’s top performers graduated on Wednesday. Of the state qualifiers, only Saunders will be returning next year. However, Stigler said, “I do think that we have some younger athletes that show some promise for next year as well.”

WCDC’s 10th golf tournament set for June 14 (June 3, 2016) The Worcester County Developmental Center’s 10th annual golf tournament will be held Tuesday, June 14 at the Ocean City Golf Club.

Bill Gibbs and The Dough Roller family are again leading the way as event sponsors, and Cecil Tull is at the helm for the 10th year as tournament chair.

event has raised money for adults who live with intellectual disabilities in Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties. The money has purchased commercial laundry equipment, catering supplies, lawn mowers, pallet jacks and hand trucks, which have both provided employment for the WCDC clients and helped prepare them for

jobs in the community.

The day will include 18 holes on the Newport Bay Course, buffet lunch and hors d’oeuvres prepared and served by the clients of WCDC, free drinks on the course, an open bar post play and a door prize and goody bag included for every golfer.

Registration and lunch open at

12:30, followed by a shotgun start at 1:30 p.m.

Team and hole sponsorships are available, and donated gifts or prizes are welcomed. For more information about the tournament, visit www.wcdcservices.org or contact Jack Ferry at 410-632-2382, ext. 117 or Tull at 410213-2022.

FOR MIND & BODY

(June 3, 2016) For 15 years, The Mr. and Mrs. Riccio Foundation, founded by Oasis Bar and Grill owner Bobby Riccio, along with manager Jack Seamon, has been quietly changing the lives of children with special medical needs.

On Friday, June 3, the Foundation kicks off its annual golf tournament. All proceeds go to the purchase of costly medical devices or therapies for children overcoming disabilities.

This year, the Foundation, created in honor of Riccio’s parents, who unselfishly helped children during their lifetimes, gave roughly $6,000 to two local children with serious conditions, bringing the total contributions upwards of a quarter of a million dollars during the last 15 years. The Foundation helps pediatric cancer patients, low income families, abused and terminally ill children or those with rare conditions obtain a good quality of life.

Each year, the tournament features ambassadors – kids that have been helped and are thriving. The 2016 tournament ambassadors include 8-yearold Thomas Paddack and 5-year-old Alex Wood, both of Ocean City.

Paddack was born deaf, without a history of deafness in his family. His condition was determined to be Connexion 26, a protein found on the (GJB2) gene and is the most common cause of congenital sensorineural hearing loss. The Riccio Foundation helped fund bilateral cochlear implant surgery, which was performed at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

His prognosis is promising, as he is demonstrating age-appropriate speech development and near-normal hearing.

He is on the honor roll at school and, while his challenges are not over, he has a bright future ahead of him.

In May of 2015, Wood was diagnosed with craniopharyngioma, a tumor in the center of his brain. Within hours of diagnosis, the tumor was resected via frontal lobe craniotomy at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center.

As a result of the removal of the tumor, Wood has multiple complex conditions that require careful management, one of which is the brain’s inability to control the balance of sodium and water in the body due to the lack of production of the anti-diuretic hormone Vasopressin.

The Riccio Foundation funded part of the purchase of an iSTAT machine, a hospital-grade handheld device that allows for a sodium test to be taken at home via a finger prick and a few drops of blood, producing results within minutes as opposed to the lab draws that take up to days to get results.

Weekend activities start on Friday, June 3. The tournament will take place on Saturday at the Bay Club Golf Course in Berlin, beginning with registration from 7-7:30 a.m.

For more information, call Seamon at 443-614-1958, email OCMDGOLF@GMAIL.COM or visit facebook.com/RiccioFoundation.

Grande Pez crew win more than $5K for tuna

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 3, 2016) Fourteen boats were entered into the Ocean City Marlin Club’s seventh annual Memorial Day Tournament, held May 2829, and $6,120 was paid out to the winners.

Grande Pez took first and second place in the tuna division with 46.2and 43-pound yellowfin the team brought to the Sunset Marina dock in West Ocean City last Saturday. The

crew was awarded $5,436.

A Salt Weapon III placed third with a 42.2-pound yellowfin. The fish was worth $684.

The Barbara Rose’s 13-, 12.6- and 11.4-pound bluefish swept the category. The team did not sign up for the added-entry level calcuttas so the crew did not win any prize money for the catches.

No mako sharks were weighed.

pected, but we still had 14 entries,” said Franky Pettolina, OCMC president and tournament co-director.

“Weather was good, tuna fishing was good; lots of fish were caught. There were three bluefish weighed, all nice size. No makos weighed [but] some smaller ones were released as well as thresher and blue sharks released.”

The tournament benefits the Catherine & Charles Kratz Memorial Foundation and Scholarship Fund, which provides support, encourage-

ment and a better life for veterans.

Pettolina said the OCMC hopes to donate about $2,000 to the foundation.

The Ocean City Marlin Club’s next competition is the 37th annual Small Boat Tournament, held June 18-19.

Registration will be Friday, June 17 at 6:30 p.m. at the Ocean City Marlin Club in West Ocean City.

Owner Shaun O’Donnell shows off a soft serve ice cream cone and popular panini, cheesy pig, consisting of barbecue pulled pork topped with macaroni and cheese on a ciabatta roll, at Sharky’s, located on the corner of Baltimore Avenue and Somerset Street.

Stop by Sharky’s Paninis and Ice Cream downtown

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 3, 2016) The O’Donnell brothers opened Sharky’s Paninis and Ice Cream on the corner of Baltimore Avenue and Somerset Street about a month ago.

“We are family-owned and operated. While we are from out-of-state, we have vacationed in Ocean City for well over a decade,” said Shaun O’Donnell, who owns the restaurant along with his brother Colin. “We came down so much, we wanted an excuse to come down more often. It is the start of our path to becoming locals.”

More than a dozen panini sandwich options are available including the best seller, Crabby Carol. The favorite sandwich is made with lump crab meat, mozzarella cheese and old bay on sour dough or sunflower wheat bread or try the chicken pesto with red onions, roasted red pepper, provolone cheese and pesto on an herb focaccia roll.

Another favorite is the cheesy pig with barbecue pulled pork topped with macaroni and cheese on a ciabatta roll.

Other options include club, Hawaiian, Italian, chicken parmesan, roast beef and meatball paninis. There are also a few vegetarian options.

The O’Donnell brothers, Shaun and Colin, opened Sharky’s Paninis and Ice Cream on the corner of Baltimore Avenue and Somerset Street about a month ago.

“We wanted to offer something a little different and everything is a test.

Everyone loves our ultimate grilled cheese with three different cheeses and bacon,” O’Donnell said.

The kid’s menu has five grilled half sandwiches and combination meals come with a small soda or juice and chips served in a sand bucket.

On the ice cream side, Sharky’s sells soft serve flavors of chocolate and

vanilla with a couple specialty sundaes and floats. Root beer, cherry and orange floats are available in addition to a banana split and s’more sundae.

Signature sundaes include the Shark Bite that has chocolate and vanilla ice cream with crushed gram crackers to resemble sand. The sundae is topped with blue sprinkles and shaved coconut for the presence of See HOMEMADE Page 42

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (June 3, 2016) The National Association of Realtors released its 2016 Home Buyer and Seller Generational Trends study earlier this spring.

The study evaluated the generational differences of recent homebuyers and sellers. A few key points to emerge from the survey were that millennials (generally known as birth years ranging from the early 1980s to around 2000) are becoming a growing share of the market, more millennials are purchasing single-family homes outside of urban areas, and even though student loan debt is more prevalent among millennial buyers they are not the generation with the largest student debt balances.

The study results posted said that the share of millennials buying in an urban or central city area decreased to 17 percent, from 21 percent a year ago, in this year’s survey, and only 10 percent purchased a multifamily home compared to a year ago, when the number was 15 percent. Overall, the majority of buyers in all generations continue to purchase single-family homes in suburban areas, and the younger the buyer, the older the home purchased.

Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said while millennials may choose to live in an urban area as renters, the survey reveals that most aren’t staying once they’re ready to buy.

“The median age of a millennial homebuyer is 30 years old, which typically is the time in life where one settles down to marry and raise a family,” he said. “Even if an urban setting is where they’d like to buy their first home, the need for more space at an affordable price is, for the most part, pushing their search further out. Furthermore, limited inventory in millennials’ price range, minimal entry-level condo construction and affordability pressures make buying in the city extremely difficult for most young households,” he said.

The news release reported that for the third straight year, the largest group of recent buyers was millennials, who composed 35 percent of all buyers, up from 32 percent in 2014, more than the combined amount of younger and older boomers at 31 percent. Generation X accounts for 26 percent of buyers, and the Silent Generation made up 9 percent.

The chocolate peanut butter pretzel is another favorite with chocolate ice cream, peanut butter sauce, whipped cream and a pretzel rod.

with a strawberry filling and cream cheese mixture layered between two waffles toasted and dusted with powdered sugar.

“We make everything here. Its fresh, not fried,” said Amanda Holden, assistant manager. “Deli meats are freshly sliced and we have fresh crab. We mix everything ourselves from the parmesan ranch dressing to the garlic mayo and chipotle. [It’s] all made in house.”

In the next coming weeks, Sharky’s plans to start serving breakfast sandwiches and fresh brewed coffee.

“The main thing is to be down here more,” O’Donnell said. “We are an alternative to fried food and there is something for everyone.”

The plan is for Sharky’s to be open from April to October. Check out the new panini and ice cream shop every day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. or later. It

Phillips SH offers fresh catch menu Continued from Page 42 ing oysters courtesy of Mike Marange from Chincoteague, Virginia. In addition, soft and hard shell crabs are brought in by Snow Hill resident John Harvey.

“It’s the first shed of the season [of soft shell crabs],” Roberts said.

“We’re also supporting his [Harvey] fresh hard crabs on the buffet. The Oyster Rush [Chincoteague, Virginia] supplied a shucker so we are successful. He is giving away Tomboy oysters in the bar. They are picked within 24 hours from water to table.”

Local tuna teriyaki and fresh dayboat scallops from West Ocean City are frequent items on the new menu.

“We are building partnerships with local owners and vendors,” he said. Our menu is created around what is the freshest available source, and it will change depending on what we receive. Right to our backdoor type-of-concept. “[We] keep it local… [and we’re] using local fisherman and tapping into local vegetable resources,” Roberts continued. “I would love to feature delicious lionfish, sea bass and tautog.”

Keeping with the theme, the restaurant will utilize produce from local growers from a farmers’ market that’s right in their front yard. The market will be held in front of Phillips

every Saturday and Sunday during the summer, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The “Catch of the Day” menu allows Phillips to offer smaller portions on fresh seafood with attractive price points designed to allow families to take everyone out to dinner. The restaurant has a new chef, Brian Greene, who worked at the Baltimore location for five years.

In addition to the new menu, Phillips on 141st Street received a makeover with complete renovations in the dining room, bar and carry out areas that included new flooring, more lighting and contemporary décor. Renovations took five months to complete during wintertime.

“We created a New England atmosphere with a nautical feel,” Roberts said. “Added white walls of reclaimed wood, lightened everything up, put candles and linens on the tables. When the sun goes down, it sets the mood for an intimate dining experience backed with ocean glass murals.”

On the outside, new windows were put in, the sign was changed and employees received new uniforms.

Visitors can check out the bar renovations while trying out the new happy hour menu including $2.50 domestic drafts and bottles, $3 house wines, $4 craft beers and $5 crushes.

Ravens fans from across the country gather in the resort last year for the annual Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts convention, which included parties and conferences as well as a parade on Baltimore Avenue between 19th and 26th streets. The 2016 parade will take place Saturday beginning at 10 a.m.

Ravens fans gather in Ocean City Thousands will converge in resort for annual parade and convention this wknd.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 3, 2016) Baltimore Avenue will turn into a sea of purple and black this Saturday as thousands of fans converge to watch the 52nd annual Council of Baltimore Ravens Roost Parade.

Ocean City’s Ravens Roosts 44 and 58 will join more than 50 roosts from Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and Pennsylvania to put on the annual event, which will proceed up Baltimore Avenue from 19th to 26th streets starting at 10 a.m.

It’s all about the home team this year with a “Purple Pride Mark of the Ravens” theme.

The Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts and its member roosts have donated more than $3.2 million to local and national charities since 2007 and put in countless hours of volunteering, said Sue Draper, Ravens Convention chairperson, recording secretary for the Council and member of Pasadena’s Roost 65.

Approximately 28 Roosts will

march in the 2016 Ravens Roost Parade and are entered into a competition with various categories including best theme and novelty float with first, second and third place trophies for the winners.

“In addition to the best in parade, Arthur B. Modell trophy, is in honor of the owner that brought the Ravens to Baltimore,” Draper said.

About 10 youth and musical groups will perform along the way with Ravens cheerleaders and Ravens’ mascot, Poe, making appearances.

Several players, current and alumni, from the Baltimore Ravens will be in attendance. The Baltimore Ravens Pep Band will be performing throughout the morning near the reviewing stand on Baltimore Avenue and 26th Street, Draper said.

“It is difficult to put a number on the size of the crowd lining the streets of Baltimore Avenue, however they are standing three and four deep along the way,” she added.

Starting today, Friday, at 9 a.m., competitions will take place at Castle in the Sand on 37th Street all day long including miniature golf tournament, scavenger hunt, Bingo, corn hole and karaoke.

After the Ravens Roost parade,

registered Roost members will gather on the beach at Castle in the Sand Hotel, “a gracious host for more than 10 years,” for competitions between Roosts such as volleyball and horse shoes in addition to a caricature artist, a dunk tank and a catered bull roast, followed by awards at night where parade and competition winners will receive their trophies, Draper said.

Participants must be registered members of the convention to attend Castle in the Sand events.

Proceeds from the dunk tank on Saturday will be donated to the nonprofit Surfers’ Healing, which provides autistic children with free surf lessons from professionals in Ocean City. A local camp will be held on the beach in front of Castle in the Sand on Wednesday, Aug. 17, Draper said.

“This parade is special because it celebrates not only the Baltimore Ravens but also the many Roosts that work so diligently all year to support a variety of causes in our local communities,” she added.

“During this event, which dates back 52 years to the days of the Baltimore Colts, we strive to paint the town purple and share our love of the Ravens and welcome OC residents and tourists to celebrate with us.”

The Beach Bash provides a great way for fans to interact with alumni and current players along with cheerleaders, the mascot and the playmakers.”

Last year, current and former play-

ers Steve Smith Sr., Crockett Gillmore, Brandon Williams, Anthony Levine, Jamal Lewis, Brad Jackson and Kyle Richardson attended the Beach Bash along with Defensive Coordinator Dean Pees and Running Back Coach Thomas Hammock.

“Their participation is special to this event and to the fans,” said Ilsa Marden, events and game entertainment manager for the Ravens. “Every fan doesn’t have an opportunity to attend Ravens games at M&T Bank Stadium, so it’s great to be able to bring current and former players, coaches, cheerleaders and mascots to Ocean City so that they are able to interact and experience the same excitement.”

On Friday morning, fans can meet at the Original Greene Turtle on 116th Street from 6-10 a.m. for Bacon & Beer.

A popular Baltimore Ravens tradition, the Purple Friday Caravan, will travel all over Ocean City on Friday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. For those unfamiliar, the Ravens hold this event every Friday there is a home game in Baltimore.

The traveling caravan will bring Ravens cheerleaders, mascots and playmakers to different establishments, schools and other locations in Ocean City.

During the afternoon, a West Ocean City bar crawl with Ravens playmakers will commence with stops

at Hooters, Sunset Grille, Harborside, Crab Alley, Micky Fins and the Greene Turtle. Tickets can be purchased for $25 at 11 a.m. today at the Clarion, though the event sold out last year.

Check-in will be at 11 a.m. Saturday on the Clarion Hotel pool deck before the event takes place from 1-6 p.m. A bus will transport participants to and from West Ocean City for the bar crawl.

“We have increased the capacity this year to accommodate more fans,” Marden said. “All participants will receive a commemorative pint glass, credential, Miller Lite giveaways and drink specials.”

On Friday night, Ravens fans can gather at Dead Freddies on 64th Street for a 98Rock live broadcast or families can Ride with the Ravens at Jolly Rodger Amusement Park on 30th Street. In addition, families can check out the movie “Inside Out” on

the Clarion beach starting around 8:45 p.m.

“Ravens cheerleaders and Poe will be on-hand to take photos, sign autographs and help make s’mores before the movie begins,” Marden said.

A purple plunge into the Atlantic Ocean will take place on 18th Street starting at 8:15 a.m. on Saturday morning to kick start the day’s activities.

“The Ravens Nest is organizing another purple plunge this year to benefit Special Olympics of Maryland on Saturday,” Marden said. “Ravens cheerleaders and Poe will make an appearance at the Plunge from 8:15-8:45 a.m.”

The 52nd annual Ravens Roost parade will make its way up Baltimore Avenue from 19th Street to 26th Street starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday.

Forty-seven teens graduate from Worcester Prep School

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 3, 2016) Forty-seven seniors graduated from Worcester Preparatory during the school’s 44th annual commencement ceremony last Friday in Berlin.

The Worcester Prep students are on their way to 33 colleges in 13 states and have received 147 scholarships totaling more than $5.2 million, Headmaster Barry Tull said.

Tull named Grace Tunis salutatorian for her GPA of 98.47 and Isabel Carulli valedictorian for her 99.34 GPA. “On behalf of everyone, I congratulate you and look forward to hearing about your successes,” Tull said.

The Upper School chorus, which included about 15 graduates, per-

formed “California Dreamin’” during the ceremony.

Commencement speaker Michelle Freeman, owner and CEO of the Carl M. Freeman Companies, began her speech with advice on getting through tough challenges in life and coming out of them stronger.

“The most magical things happen when you push through,” Freeman said. “This is when life explodes. You don’t know what life is getting you ready for and what you do today, gets you ready for tomorrow.”

She encouraged graduates to finish what they start, be kind when no one is looking, live in the moment and most importantly, work hard.

“Set out to make your world a better place,” Freeman said. “Worcester See WP Page 53

is a better place for having you. Your legacy as young people starts today, when you leave this place. Now go live an incredible life.”

Class President Jordan Osias delivered a farewell address to students during the ceremony by first “expressing his appreciation and gratitude” to parents, Headmaster Tull and teachers while praising the 2016 class full of musicians, athletes and scholars.

“These are the most special people you could ever get to meet,” Osias said. “Much love and good luck.”

Osias mentioned how two-thirds of the graduating class has grown up together the last 13 years and could not praise his teachers enough.

“Educators, thank you for your patience and dedication,” Osias said.

“Everyone in this room thanks you.”

He concluded his speech by advising the class of 2016 to not lose their sense of wonder as they grow up and move on.

“Thank you faculty and staff for a job well done and for teaching the graduates to ask the next question,” Board of Trustees President Charles Jenkins said.

New OC Flea open every Fri., Sat. and Sun. in Hooper’s lot

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 3, 2016) OC Flea, which launched over Memorial Day weekend, drew decent crowds, but principal organizer Tony Sapanero expects the market venture will continue to expand.

“We sold a good amount of stuff, but were a little short of vendors,” he said.

Considering the contract to rent 2 acres of parking lot space at Hooper’s Crab House, located at the foot of the Route 50 bridge, was finalized only a week prior to kickoff, Sapanero was enthused by the initial results. He plans on running OC Flea every Friday through Sunday, 6 a.m. to noon, until October.

“Nobody does a flea market on a Friday,” he said.

With several markets already in operation around Baltimore, Sapanero expects OC Flea to become the crown jewel.

“So far this is the biggest lot we have,” he said. “In Ocean City you get hundreds of thousands of people in a short period of time.”

Gauging by the first week, Sapanero said about 70 percent of vendors were local, while roughly 30 percent were from out of the area. He expects this will change as more people get wind of OC Flea.

“This week two people from Penn-

sylvania signed up,” he said. “They will fill their truck up and come down.”

As with most flea markets, OC Flea will take place in the morning, allowing vendors ample time to get some sand between their toes.

“Then you have the rest of the day off to experience Ocean City,” he said. “By one o’clock you can be on the beach.”

Running the range between niche items, antiques, yard sale fodder, and furniture from shabby chic to estate, Sapanero hopes to appeal to a diverse set of consumers.

“We’re looking to have a variety,” he said. “Sometimes we’ll get gold, lead, glass, China, even Avon,” he said.

As the summer progresses, in addition to fresh flowers, OC Flea will also offer local produce.

DJ Batman, who also claims the moniker Mike Beatty, is helping Sapanero manage OC Flea and will be a regular presence throughout the summer.

For those interested in unloading items they have accumulated over the last 20 to 30 years, Sapanero said a mere $25 would rent two parking spaces and provide a reasonable amount of vending space.

“You can fit a few tables,” he said.

To learn more, visit OC Flea’s Facebook page, or to inquire about renting space call Sapanero at 443-250-7153.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Snack on roasted salsa verde with avocado

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (June 3, 2016) What is the name of a green fruit that is covered with a papery husk and is a staple in Mexico and Guatemala? If you guessed tomatillos, you are correct.

A well-established south-of-the-border immigrant, the tomatillo, needs no visa to enter the realm of popularity.

Contrary to popular belief, the tomato and tomatillo are very distantly related. So how did this misconception between tomatoes and tomatillos come about?

The Aztecs domesticated the tomatillo and the fruit dates back to 800 B.C. According to GourmetSleuth, the Aztec word â&#x20AC;&#x153;tomatlâ&#x20AC;? means something â&#x20AC;&#x153;round and plump.â&#x20AC;? Europeans that came to the New World documented local foods and often confused their names. The Aztec word for tomato was â&#x20AC;&#x153;xitomatlâ&#x20AC;? and tomatillos were called â&#x20AC;&#x153;maltormatl.â&#x20AC;? Europeans frequently shortened both names to â&#x20AC;&#x153;tomatl,â&#x20AC;? and there lies the confusion, but experts agree the references more than likely were referring to what we know as tomatillos.

If one has never experienced a tomatillo, you must give it a try. Tomatil-

los have a sharp, citrusy flavor that stands up to strong spices, herbs and chilies. They are a perfect pairing with grilled items and can add a touch of acidity to stews and other heavy dishes.

Tomatillos are found in the produce section and are usually sold in loose piles for the pickings of the consumer. The condition of the husk is often a good indicator when selecting tomatillos. Look for husks that are fresh looking and intact; ones that are dry or shrivel should be avoided.

The flesh of the tomatillos should be firm but not rock hard and free of any blemishes. If it changes from green to pale yellow, they have past their prime and lost most of their distinct tanginess.

Fresh tomatillos with the husk still intact may be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. They will last longer in the refrigerator if the tomatillos are stored in paper bags. Tomatillos may be frozen after removing the husks.

I am a huge fan of salsa verde and find tamatillos to be a refreshing change from typical salsas made with tomatoes.

Roasting the tomatillos, onions and jalapeĂąos adds a whole new dimension of flavor. If one feels like pushing the boundaries, consider grilling the trio of vegetables.

Chefs have choices which alludes to personal style. The addition of avocados adds a certain level of creaminess to the

salsa verde. Tomatillos have an acidic quality about them and avocado is a perfect pairing to develop smooth undertones. The end result is a wonderful bouquet of textures and aromas.

Recipes are meant to be a guide and variance is certainly a factor. I teach childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooking classes in the summer and I emphasize feeling free to change the original recipe to please oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s palate.

My little chefs understand this concept and look forward to personalizing their individual dishes. Roasted salsa verde with avocado is no exception, but that being said, this recipe is delicious.

Summer is here and gatherings at the beach are underway. Options are the key to the season of entertaining. An offering of traditional tomato salsa and roasted salsa verde with avocado raises the level of sophistication and keeps celebratory

moments memorable. Enjoy! * Any type of scoop chip is recommended; a host wants the food to be finger friendly. Salsas can be messy and play havoc on oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carpet or flooring. In addition, consider serving blue corn tortilla chips. They are pleasing to the eye and raise the level of complexity.

Roasted Salsa Verde with Avocado Ingredients 1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed ½ large white onion, quartered 2 large cloves garlic 2 large jalapeùos, stems removed, seeded and halved 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 romaine lettuce leaf, torn into pieces 2 avocados See CONSIDER Page 58

Chamber of Ravens Nests presents Purple Plunge, Sat. (June 3, 2016) On the beach at 18th Street this Saturday, Worcester County “plungers” will have the chance to run into the Atlantic Ocean as the Chamber of Ravens Nests presents the second annual Purple Plunge.

All donations from the event will benefit Special Olympics Maryland (SOMD), a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to provide yearround sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympictype sports for persons 8 years of age and older with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes, and the community. Visit www.somd.org for more information.

To make a donation or register as a plunger, go www.plungetrainingmd.com. For a donation of $10, plungers will receive a

purple rally towel. For pledging $35, plungers will take home a beach towel with the purple plunge logo. For a donation of $50, participants will get a Tshirt with the Purple Plunge Logo.

On Saturday, plungers are to gather on the beach for registration at 7:45 a.m. At 8:15 a.m. will be the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a reciting of the Ravens Fight Song. Then, at 8:30 a.m., all plungers will run under an arch created by 18 Ravens cheerleaders. The Baltimore Ravens Mascot, Poe, will also be on site cheering participants on.

All permits for this event have been secured through the Town of Ocean City and beach patrol members will be on site.

ON GUARD

OC Beach Patrol: Always swim near lifeguard

By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (June 3, 2016) “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!” This is our trademark slogan that you will see many places throughout Ocean City.

It’s not just a catchy phrase that you can see on the Seaboard Boat, back of lifeguard stands and many other signs throughout Ocean City, but more importantly a helpful reminder that swimming in unguarded water is never a good idea.

A sad statistic from Ocean City is that 98 percent of all drowning deaths that have occurred in the past 80 years have occurred when the beach patrol was not on duty.

Although this advice applies to pools, it is even more important when swimming in open water such as lakes, rivers and oceans, which have uneven bottoms, changing currents and sudden drop-offs and changes in depth. These factors make rip currents the third leading cause of weather related death, according to the National Weather Service (NOAA), ahead of both tornados and hurricanes.

I have noticed that people tend to leave their cares, concerns and com-

mon sense behind them when they come to the beach. No one can blame them, vacationers have worked hard and they simply want to enjoy their time by the ocean.

Most people believe that nothing bad is going to happen while they are on vacation and that they will never be the unfortunate victim of an accident or injury while enjoying a day at the beach. The possibility of a tragedy occurring with a loved one is the furthest thing from their mind when they choose to go swimming without a lifeguard.

This fact unfortunately came true again last summer when a family chose to allow their 7-year-old little girl to go swimming at 7 p.m. after the beach patrol had long gone off duty and cleared the water of all swimmers.

Caught in a rip current, the little girl was pulled into deep water as others watched helplessly, and drowned.

However, it is important to remember that the ocean is not just a fun place to spend a vacation, it is a natural, ever changing dynamic environment and like all natural phenomena, if it is not treated respectfully it can be deadly.

There are sad stories about people who have lost their lives because they chose to swim when lifeguards were not on duty. Even experienced swim-

mers and surfers have lost their lives swimming alone with no one to help them when things go wrong. Lifeguards and people dedicated to water/beach safety feel frustrated by these stories. There is no need for anyone to lose a family member on vacation. It is a tragedy that could be easily avoided.

The ocean is constantly moving and changing. To the untrained eye it can look calm and safe, but currents on the calmest day can still be dangerous. Do not hesitate about approaching the lifeguard and asking about water conditions. They enjoy answering questions and educating beach patrons.

Every member of the beach patrol is fully tested and certified before they ever have the privilege of guarding you, your family and friends. Their job is to recognize the danger and educate beach patrons about it. If you hear them blow their whistle, look and see whom they might be trying to communicate with. It could be you.

The lifeguards will use their flags to direct you out of harms way. Often during the summer we see a lot of wildlife activity out in the ocean. There could be whale sightings and very often, dolphins traveling close to shore. Although these creatures aren’t normally harmful to humans, it’s safer to simply move out of their way and let

them pass.

Lifeguards have a better view of what is going on from their guard stand and will move you away from the less dangerous occurrences such as these and the more dangerous situations such as rip currents.

The beach patrol also enforces rules, ordinances and regulations that I am sure some of you find bothersome, but each regulation has been put in place for a reason.

The beach patrol is responsible for maintaining a safe, secure and enjoyable environment for all of our visitors and ensuring that they may enjoy their vacation time. Please remember that if the lifeguard asks you to play ball at the back of the beach, fill in a hole, or See NEVER Page 62

Although pre-registration is not required, candidates are strongly encouraged to pre-register for the test by visiting www.ococean.com/ocbp.

In addition, applicants must be 17 years old or older prior to June 27 and those under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian during the entire testing process.

Following the physical skills evaluation, those meeting qualifying standards are eligible for appointment to the beach patrol’s June 19 Surf Rescue Academy (SRA) in Ocean City.

MEMORABLE BREAKFAST Recently, Ocean City Police Department Sgt. Dennis G. Eade had the pleasure of sitting with Ocean City resident, Staff Sgt. William Stuart Brown, U.S. Army, WWII, Atlantic Theater, Normandy, D-Day, to enjoy breakfast at Layton’s on 16th Street. “It was a true pleasure and an incredibly humbling experience,” Eade said. “I can not tell you how enjoyable this was for me. Moments like these are truly therapeutic after a tough start to the season. I could’ve listened to Mr. Brown the entire day.

“His wisdom, passion and humility were all bundled together in a positive attitude that was absolutely addictive,” Eade continued. “Words can not express how appreciative I am for people like Mr. Brown and the sacrifices they have made. Staff Sgt. Brown was quick to thank me for my service and wish me a safe tour. I was briefly confused and taken back by his words. I could only chuckle and shake my head as I exclaimed, ‘Thank you sir...for everything.’”

“My goal as Edgar and Poe’s foster is to try to restore their faith in humanity,” Brown said. “I want to show them that people do care about them. This entire community from the first responders all the way to the people sharing their story online pulled together for these two small beings. All the donations made and all the calls just to

With veterinary bills estimated at about $2,000, the humane society has started a Go Fund Me account named Edgar and Poe’s Recovery Fund, to help with the cost.

So far, the fund has raised over $1,000 that will go directly to veterinary costs for the kittens. Anyone interested in donating can also do so on the shelter’s website www.worcestercountyhumanesociety.org or mail a check to: WCHS, 12330 Eagles Nest Road, Berlin, Maryland 21811 or P.O.

(June 3, 2016) Two five-week-old kittens that were rescued from being repetitively thrown against a dumpster and dunked in water are continuing their recovery process in a foster home.

On May 24, the Maryland State Police in Princess Anne responded to an alleged animal cruelty call. A woman reported two juveniles for repetitively throwing and attempting to drown the two small kittens.

The woman assumed the kittens were dead as they lay motionless, soaked and injured. The Princess Anne woman then took the kittens to Somerset Animal Hospital, but unfortunately, it was after hours. She contacted the Maryland State Police where an on-duty trooper responded. After realizing the kittens were still alive he transported them back to the State Police Barracks.

Shortly after, a member of the Worcester County Humane Society rushed them to PETS ER in Salisbury and once they were stabilized were able to go to Healing Hands Animal Hospital, also in Salisbury where they were cared for until discharge to a foster home.

The kittens, Edgar (a tabby) and Poe (pure black) are now being fostered by Worcester County Humane Society employee, Ashley Brown, where they will continue their recovery. It is un-

Two fathers and sons display artwork in show

(June 3, 2016) “Father & Son,” a show of art by two pairs of real-life fathers and sons timed to honor Father’s Day, will be on display through June at the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street.

The public is invited to the free opening reception on First Friday, June 3, from 5-7 p.m. to meet the artists and enjoy complimentary refreshments.

Also opening on First Friday in the Thaler Gallery is the annual group photography and digital media show.

Delaware artists Chase and Gregg Rosner have two unique approaches to art. Father, Chase, is a retired graphic artist and old-house restorer who now sculpts in wood, with the objective of capturing the subject’s essence. Son, Gregg, who works as the manager for Rehoboth Bay Sailing Club and volun-

teers for MERR and the Surfrider Foundation, works in photography, sculpture and mixed media, and has produced impressions of his father for this show.

Maryland artists Dean and Christian Peterson also have their independent visions. Father, Dean, who currently teaches photography and digital imaging at Salisbury University, uses various photographic processes to explore his ongoing interest in abstract image making. Son, Christian, works in bold, graphic colors with imagery that represents singular moments in his life’s journey, from high-energy music concerts to clean barreling waves.

Painter Becky Simonds occupies Studio E in June. Born in Baltimore and currently residing in Ocean Pines, she attended the Baum School of Art in Allentown, Pennsylvania and paints in oils and watercolors.

The Spotlight Gallery hosts Susan Buyer, who enjoyed a long career at the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda before moving to Berlin. She works in encaustic, a mixture of natural beeswax and damar resin (crystallized tree sap) that adds translucency to her art.

Berlin resident Bonnie Preziosi is the artisan in residence for June. A graduate of MICA and an avid surfer,

she makes nature-inspired, one-of-akind jewelry, often embellished with crochet.

The Ocean City Center for the Arts at 502 94th Street is the home of the Art League of Ocean City, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the visual arts in the Ocean City area through education, exhibits, scholarships, programs and community art events. The arts center is supported by memberships, donations, sales of art, and corporate and civic funding (in part by the Worcester County Arts Council).

More information is available at 410-524-9433 or www.artleagueofoceancity.org.

Law Enforcement Torch Run Relay for SOMD

(June 3, 2016) Law enforcement officers representing all of Worcester County will be on the run on Monday, June 6 at 8 a.m., taking part in the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run Relay for Special Olympics Maryland.

Their mission is to escort and protect the Special Olympics “Flame of Hope” as it makes its way toward the opening of the 43rd anniversary Summer Games at Towson University, June 10-12.

The Maryland Torch Run is a fundraising movement that began in 1986 with a handful of officers raising $5,000, and has grown into a true year-round effort that involves thousands of officers and sponsors raising millions annually.

Since its inception, those involved with the Torch Run have taken very seriously their role as “Guardians of

the Flame” and the relay is an important and celebrated part of every Special Olympics competition. Without the funds raised by those dedicated to the Torch Run efforts across this state, and across the world, Special Olympics would not be able to provide the inspiring opportunities that they do for the incredible athletes.

The schedule for Ocean City/Worcester County’s portion of the Torch Run is as follows (all times are approximate and subject to change): Monday, June 6: 8-8:30 a.m.: Pre-event ceremonies, 27th Street and the Boardwalk 8:30 a.m.: Torch Run Relay begins.

Run will proceed from 27th Street to N. Division Street 9:15-9:30 a.m.: Run concludes at N. Division Street with photo opportunity and refreshment.

Participants will then take a bus to downtown Berlin for the second leg of the Relay.

10-10:15 a.m.: Meet at Worcester Preparatory School for Pre-Run Pep Rally 10:15 a.m.: Begin second leg through downtown Berlin 10:45-11 a.m.: Conclude second leg at Berlin Fire Department (approximately 1 mile run) More refreshments and photo opportunities to follow run This local portion of the Torch Run Relay is part of a much larger effort.

Statewide, the Maryland Torch Run Relay consists of four different legs – Eastern, Western, Central and South-

ern – and throughout the entire week, thousands of Torch Run volunteers will cover hundreds of miles, eventually converging on Towson where the individual flames will be united in the Final Leg Ceremony and then officers from around the state will travel the final 2.5 miles to the Opening Ceremony at Towson University.

It is there that the flame is handed off to the Special Olympics athletes who have the honor of taking the final lap with the torch and then lighting the cauldron and officially declaring the 2016 SOMD Summer Games open.

For more information, contact Sgt. Dennis G. Eade, Ocean City Police Department, 410-520-5309.

Commentary

City pay policy set in stone, for now

Just because the Ocean City Council this week agreed on a new pay policy that ends raises for people who have reached the top of their pay scales doesn’t mean they’ll never get another dime. Or many dimes, for that matter.

First, it’s a policy, not a rule, and there is a difference between the two: a policy is something that states the policymakers’ intentions, while a rule states how those intentions will be applied.

In other words, a policy is something one intends to do, while a rule is something one must do.

In business or government, policies provide the justification for an action or decision, which is to say the leadership in government or business could deny a pay increase, because “that’s our policy.”

A rule against raises, however, would obligate the leadership to outlaw pay increases regardless of how anyone might feel about it.

In addition, policies change, because minds change, just as the councils themselves do. Besides, it would be naïve to think that elected officials wouldn’t make an exception to keep a vital employee from going elsewhere.

Even more likely, however, is that some future council will want to do something entirely different with regard to its pay structure, or at least revise it to reflect the fiscal circumstances of that time.

Just as a council majority last year chose to ignore the results of its own pay study and approved small increases for everyone, including those who had already reached the ceiling, a future council could just as easily institute a new policy with different pay brackets across the board.

This neither a criticism nor a prophecy, but rather just some perspective for anyone who thinks Ocean City government’s system of compensation will be this way forever.

Vanity plates: just 2cnfsng When the traffic flow is about as fluid as refrigerated gravy, one way to pass the time between the hour it takes to get to traffic light B from traffic light A is to try to decipher what some motorists were thinking, if anything, when they bought their vanity tags.

I know something about vanity tags, having tooled around with “OCTODAY” plates for years before opting By out of the “am-I-cool-orStewart what?” approach to vehicular Dobson identification.

The realization that things can get lost in translation with such plates came to me about two years into my ownership of OCTODAY, when I ran into a friend who was unaware that the car belonged to me.

“You don’t know how relieved I am to know this is your car,” he said. “I kept seeing that car and its plates and asking myself, ‘octo-day,’ octo-day…’ what the hell does that mean? Now, I understand. It’s ‘oc-today’ for the newspaper.

I thought it was amusing, but then I started to notice other plates around me that begged for clarification.

I saw this one over the weekend: “SUPREGO.” Hmmmm, I wondered through the second cycle of the traffic signal, is Sue prego? Or is it some corrupted Spanish-English mix, of mi casa, su casa — mi prego, su prego, we all prego?

Or might it be advocating paddleboarding while pregnant, as in Stand Up Prego, or, connoisseur of little-known facts that I am, I knew Rego is a company that manufactures gas valves, which would suggest that the owner of this car needs a super gas valve, thus

PUBLIC EYE

suggesting that a following motorist such as myself might want to drop back a car length or two just to be safe.

Then, as I advanced several inches up the rapid-as-all-get-out lane, it occurred to that suprego means “super ego.”

At least that’s what I believe, since I’m relatively certain it was not some corruption of “super go” as in drive fast.

I came to that conclusion after watching the driver, who looked to be the same age as the earth’s core, take about 15 minutes to slide into the turn lane, as if he was thinking, “Hmmm. Should I or shouldn’t I? If I make this turn, will the world spin off its axis and roll erratically through the heavens, a gutter ball in the cosmos? Or...”

Whatever it was, he wasn’t fast.

Later, with the help of my computer, I discovered that “Supre” is a chain of Australian stores that sells slutty clothes. But, given the man’s age, I moved on rather than dwell on the prospect of him wearing short shorts.

And then there was this vanity license plate, “HOTNANA.” Hot Nana. Disturbing, no?

Try as I might to make this an abbreviation for “Hot In Annapolis,” there was no getting around the fact that even if it did mean that, someone who’s been on Medicare longer than I have is not likely to keep the home fires burning at peak temperature, so to speak, at least not without scaring the you-know-what out of the grandkids.

“Granddad! Granddad! Come with me if you want to live!”

All this indicates that the purpose of vanity tags is to broadcast who we’d like to be, rather than who we are.

In which case, I’m in the market for new plates myself. Problem is, I can’t say “Mr. Wonderful” in seven letters. Besides, by the time I did figure it out, it would take me 15 minutes to make my turn.
